Originally created by @RomainGarel on GitHub (Jan 6, 2021).

Environment

  • Python version: 3.6.8
  • NetBox version: 2.10.2
  • CentOS Linux release 8.2.2004

Steps to Reproduce

  1. using a existing "Device"
  2. try to change a field value using PATCH method (for example the status)
  3. Or simply using netbox API swagger

Expected Behavior

With this request:
curl --location --request PATCH 'https://x.x.x.x/api/dcim/devices/'
--header 'Authorization: Token xxxxxxxxx'
--header 'Content-Type: application/json'
--header 'Accept: application/json; indent=4'
--data-raw ' {
"name": "sr-nbi-ones-test",
"device_type": 1,
"device_role": 1,
"site": 1,
"status": "failed"
}'
The status have to change to failed, but it's not working.
Same thing using swagger (see screenshot below).
I tried also using Postman and Ansible...

Observed Behavior

Answer is always "400 Bad Resquest"
{
"non_field_errors": [
"Expected a list of items but got type "dict"."
]
}

You are sending a single object to the list endpoint /api/dcim/devices/. You have two options, use the bulk functionality of the list endpoint by sending your data as a JSON list that contains one object, or use the single object detail view for PUT/PATCH. This is done by appending the ID of the single object you want to work with to the URL: /api/dcim/devices/123/
