Set field to null via API

[RobinBeismann]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to set a field (primary_ip and primary_ip4 in this case) to null via the REST API, basically removing its value. This is possible via the UI but I can't figure out how to do it via the API.
If I post NULL, null or NULL() to the primary_ip(4) field, then Netbox doesn't seem to be processing the value I push..

Anyone got an advice on that one?

Thanks,
Robin

You'll want PUT or PATCH rather than POST. Can you show the code or curl command line you're trying?

I've tried patch as I use for all other updates, basically it's just Powershell with

Invoke-RestMethod -Method "PATCH" -URI "https://netbox/api/virtualization/virtual-machine/id/ -Body (@{ primary_ip = null()} | ConvertTo-JSON ) -Headers [...]

However this does not remove the primary_ip.

The code might be a bit different, already shut down the PC and did it out of my head.

Can you get that Microsoft command to show the actual raw body that it sends? And did you send Content-Type: application/json ?

Never mind, found my issue..

I was able to update anything except that one, turns out I missed the @ in front of my hashtable so I sent a Scriptblock instead of a stringified JSON.

Thanks for the help through!
