Updating user's external_id via API

Hi,

I need to update a user's external id over the API which the documentation says can be done through a PUT to /users/###, however this doesn't work. As an example, sending { "external_id": "abc" } returns a 200 OK and the updated user, but external_id retains its old value.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Mattias

   Hi Mattias,

   That sounds like a bug, it should be possible for staff to update the external_id of a user using the API. A few questions: What format did you use (json/xml)? What was the full URL of your request? Who are you logged in as? Can you provide a sample request and response?

   Thanks and regards,
