Updating project parameters using PUT
I am attempting to update a project's parameters via the REST API (we are on version 2020.1.5). The GETs are working fine but when I attempt to PUT a new value, the API just responds with the same value that already exists. The documentation points out I can use ".../parameters/<parameter_name>/value" but it still just responds with the same value that already exists for that parameter.
Is there a JSON/XML body that is required when calling that PUT? Is that documented somewhere?
UPDATE:
I started using curl for this and it looks have made some progress... Unfortunately it looks like the curl now just clears out the value I send with the request, so in TeamCity it just says <empty> for that parameter. Example request:
curl --location --request PUT '<host>/app/rest/latest/projects/id:<project>/parameters/<parameter-name>/value' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer <token>' \
--header 'Accept: text/plain' \
--header 'Cookie: TCSESSIONID=49ABE8D468A3475195EC68A71818EC41' \
--data-raw '"newvalue"'

Hello Tyler!
This method expects a Property-typed entity as a body, e.g. XML one:
or JSON:
{name: "myParam",
value: "myNewValue"
}
Unfortunately, there is no example of the call within the documentation so far; a work is underway, though, to provide an auto-documentation on the TeamCity REST API and we hope to make experimental version available shortly.
I hope this helps; please let me know if the request works for you with the above amendment.
Hi Tyler, I was wondering if you found something that worked, please?
As mentioned by Fedor, the PUT request expects the XML or JSON body with the Property described in it. Please refer to the documentation: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/teamcity/rest/edit-project-settings.html#Manage+Project-Level+Build+Parameters.
Best regards,
Anton
