422 Client Error

MBlount
Level 1
Level 1

I'm receiving an HTTP 422 client error when attempting to run my code. I want to update properties for all rules within an access control policy at once. When I run the code, my access control policy UUID keeps getting referenced instead of the rule property that I want to change the value of which might be why I'm receiving the error. This is what it the error looks like when it populates.

422 Client Error For URL:  https://ip_address/api/fmc_config/v1/domain/domainUUID/policy/accesspolicies/accesscontrolpolicyUUID/accessrules/accesscontrolpolicyUUID.

Can someone look at my code to see if there are any errors as I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The API authentication and GET request are successful in my logs. but I get this error for the PUT request.

PUT Request error:

The server understands the content type of the request entity and the syntax of the request entity is correct but was unable to process the contained instructions.
