Graph REST API V1.0 - Restore a previous version of a ListItem - restoreVersion returns "Operation not allowed"

According to this page (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/listitemversion-restore), this should restore the version specified:

https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites/{site-id}/lists/{list-id}/items/{item-id}/versions/{version-id}/restoreVersion

It appears that this operation was never implemented even though it appears in the documentation.

Another clue is in Graph Explorer, "restoreVersion" does not appear in intellisense where it should so it's not in the schema:

Here "versions" appears as an operation:

And here where "restoreVersion" should appear, it does not.

Bottom line: How do I programmatically restore a previous version?

    Hi @John Palmer ,

    Just did a test, this works for me on my end. I would get the error when using GET method.

    Please make sure you are using POST method instead of GET method.
