Originally created by @prx-nvdm on GitHub (Aug 3, 2018).

Environment

Python version: 3.5.2
NetBox version: last git version (33e45a2)

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Attempt to patch an existing ConfigContext via a PUT request to the API, with changes to one or more sites/tenants etc.
curl -X PUT \
-H "Authorization: Token <TOKEN>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "Accept: application/json; indent=4" \
http://localhost:8000/api/extras/config-contexts/ \
--data '{"tenants":[83],"id":5,"name":"Tenant_ConfigContext","description":"Tenant_ConfigContext","weight":2000,"is_active":true,"data":{}}'

Expected Behavior

The given ConfigContext should be updated succesfully.

Observed Behavior

An exception is raised:
Direct assignment to the forward side of a many-to-many set is prohibited. Use tenants.set() instead.

You need to use the URL for the existing ConfigContext in your request:

http://localhost:8000/api/extras/config-contexts/5/

The endpoint without a primary key is used only for listing all ConfigContexts or creating a new one.

This stemmed from an error in ValidatedModelSerializer.
