Invalid parameters attempting to update existing course's end date

Question

I am attempting to update an existing course using the test tool to verify how my data should look for my API. I can't get the update to work with even the minimum data required, and I'm not sure why.

When using the following request for my 'aspentest.desire2learn.com'

/d2l/api/lp/1.24/courses/6724

and the following JSON:

{

"Name": "Introduction to Economics",

"Code": "SBS190",

"IsActive": false

}

I am getting an invalid parameter response:

{

"type": "http://docs.valence.desire2learn.com/res/apiprop.html#invalid-parameters",

"title": "Invalid Parameters",

"status": 400,

"detail": "Request has missing or invalid parameters."

}

After a bit of trial and error I figured out that despite some values being nullable, you still need to provide them in the request JSON.

I was missing StartDate and EndDate in the request.
