Update item doesn't work as attend

Hi,
When I try to update an item like for example the comment or any other item for a computer, the command creates a new computer instead of updating the original one.

I'm sure of the computer ID.
Do you have any ideas?
By the way, do you know how to update the “tag” plugin field for a computer?

Here is my PowerShell command:

$json =
{
    "input":  [
                  {
                      "id":  16941,
                      "comment":  "test"
                  }
              ]
}

$URLSESSION =
https://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx/apirest.php/Computer/16941?session_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx&app_token=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Invoke-WebRequest -Method PATCH -Uri $URLSESSION  -Body $json -ContentType 'application/json' -UseDefaultCredentials

Return:

StatusCode        : 200
StatusDescription : OK
Content           :

Images            : {}
InputFields       : {}
Links             : {}

Thanks in advance for your time and your help !

Re: Update item doesn't work as attend

If your computer is duplicated when you modify it, it's because you used the “POST” method and not PUT.

Personally, to edit a field after retrieving it via :

Invoke-RestMethod "$AppURL/listSearchOptions/Computer" -Method Get -Headers @{"session-token"=$SessionToken.session_token; "App-Token" = "$AppToken"} -ContentType 'application/json'

I use this command:

$ItemID = 929                                    # Computer ID
$Field_Name="customeridfield"             # Custom Field Name
$Field_NewValue = "Nouvelle Valeur 2"   # Value for that Custom Field Name

$body = @{
    input = @{
        id=  $ItemID                               #Computer ID
        $Field_Name = $Field_NewValue
    }
} | ConvertTo-Json

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "$($AppURL)/Computer" -Headers @{"session-token"=$SessionToken.session_token; "App-Token" = "$AppToken"} -ContentType 'application/json'  -Method PUT -Body $body
