Environment

  • Python version: v3.6.8
  • NetBox version: v2.10.4

Attempting to save a tenant object via the API with the group property set to null results in an error. The Swagger documentation specifies that this property is nullable.

  1. Send the following JSON body via PATCH method to $netbox_url/api/tenancy/tenants/$tenant_id/ :
    { "group": null }

Expected Behavior

200 OK response and a JSON object containing the updated tenant object.

Observed Behavior

400 Bad Request response and an error message:
{ "group": [ "This field may not be null." ] }
