Hi Kunwar,

Understood! You should still be able to make the changes. I just tried this myself and I was able to use the Update an Incident API and place something like this example in the body:

{
"incident": {
"scheduled_until": "2023-05-09T16:45:00.007Z",
"scheduled_auto_completed": true,
"deliver_notifications": true,
"body": "I changed the components from two components to one",
"components": {
"component_id": "bzw43v666h6r"
},
"component_ids": [
"bzw43v666h6r"
],
"scheduled_auto_transition": true
}
}

By editing the "scheduled_until" time and putting the component_ids in the spots that I showed below, and by making sure things like scheduled_auto_transition were set to true, I was able to set change the time of the maintenance and update the components that were affected by the maintenance.

Hopefully, that helps correct any issues you were running into. I hope you have a great day!

Regards,
Jesse

Hi Jesse,

I am doing it with API not a manual process.

Hello Kunwar,

If a maintenance is in progress, you can change the end time by changing the length under "schedule and automation" and this will adjust the time of your maintenance. The automation will still apply.

To add components, you can go to your in-progress maintenance, and at the bottom of the page, you can update components by clicking edit and making the changes. I just gave this a try on my test page and was able to make the changes.

I am curious about where this process is breaking down for you. Would you be able to step through what actions you are taking and where it does not work?

Jesse
