Updating nested value using JSON & API

HI,

I'm accessing data from an API, I can do get and put just fine,

The get looks like this

[{
"id": 1,
"summary": "Support1",
"Flag": false,
"Fields": [
{
"id": 2,
"value": "Something here"
},{
"id": 32,
"value": "Something Here"
}]
},{
"id": 2,
"summary": "Support2",
"Flag": true,
"Fields": [{
"id": 2,
"value": "Something here"
},{
"id": 32,
"value": "Something Here"
}]
}]

When I do a patch I successfully point it at the right record and can update the 'root' values, flag for example, but for the life of me I can't work out how to patch the nested element, say the 'value' of the Fields item 32.

[{
"op": "replace",
"path": "/Fields[2].value",
"value": "Something new"
}]

Anyone able to assist?

Hi @AdamPlevin

did you tried like below

{ "id": 2, "summary": "Support2", "Flag": true, "Fields": [{ "id": 2, "value": "Something here" },{ "id": 32, "value": "updated value" }]

See whether this works ?
