Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • API call for Credential PATCH using curl will only update the sub-element of the parameter inputs mentioned in the command removing other data.

  • Following API call will PATCH the existing credential with new host "https://test2.com" but will remove related parameters like username and password.

    curl -kv --user admin:redhat https://controller.example.com/api/v2/credentials/11/ -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PATCH -d '{"inputs": {"host": "https://test2.com"}}'
