Asset Rest API, updating an object

Oliver Wood

Looking at the api it appears that its impossible to do a update on specific attributes,

It appears that the only option is to send the whole object each time with all the attribute data.

Is there any concept of a patch method where i can just send attributes that have changed rather than everything.

It seems like a pretty standard method to support.

Hello @Oliver Wood

You didn't say which specific Asset REST API endpoint you are referring to, or the method you are using with it.

Can I take a wild guess and assume you're talking about the Put object endpoint? If so, then no, you can't update / patch specific attributes of an object if they have changed, you must over-write the whole object and all the attributes.

If you search the Jira Service Management feature requests for 'update asset' you will find all the requests to add that functionality.

Thanks David for confirming this

perhaps that feature has been added since the original post. This works for me:

curl --request PUT \
--url 'https://api.atlassian.com/jsm/assets/workspace/09aae0fb/v1/object/1' \
-u token \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{
"attributes": [
{
"objectTypeAttributeId": "137",
"objectAttributeValues": [
{
"value": "43"
}
]
}
]
}'

Hi Thomas - this returned a 405 error (method not allowed) for this sort of action for me.

Never mind, just an error in my JSON. Works great! And allows for better formatting.
