SSRS Rest API - Patch Method Not Working

Question

I am trying to make a call to /Subscription as Patch. https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis/microsoft-rs/SSRS/2.0#/Subscriptions/UpdateSubscription

The description of the call states that "Definition of the Subscription that updates the current item on the server. It is only necessary to include properties to be updated. All other property values will be left unchanged."

so my call is being made to http://localhost/reports/api/v2.0/Subscriptions(2615574b-ed92-4c5f-876b-3b33e6428379)
and the body im testing with is

{  
    "Id": "2615574b-ed92-4c5f-876b-3b33e6428379",
    "Description": "Edited Subscription"
}

to test the patch call to change the description field. I get a 204 returned, which is successful call.
However there are no changes made to the subscription when I look at it?

Hi @robert gama ,

Please use powershell to change the parameter for a try like below.

$jsonSubParameters=
'
{
"Id": "12c53503-8a9c-4bf3-a7fa-c906ce6c8830",
"ParameterValues": [
{
"Name": "Parameter1",
"Value": "test1",
"IsValueFieldReference": true
},
{
"Name": "Parameter2",
"Value": "test2",
"IsValueFieldReference": true
},
{
"Name": "Parameter3",
"Value": "test3",
"IsValueFieldReference": true
}
]
}
'
Invoke-RestMethod "http://reportserver/reports/api/v2.0/Subscriptions(12c53503-8a9c-4bf3-a7fa-c906ad6c8830)" -Method patch -body $jsonSubParameters -UseDefaultCredentials -ContentType 'application/json'

A tool for testing HTTP request/response messages is Fiddler. Fiddler is a free web debugging proxy that can intercept your REST requests, making it easy to diagnose the HTTP request/ response messages.
