[PDB Tech] pdb, PUT, python, fail - or maybe stupidity...

[Stefan Pratter]

PUT needs you supply values for all required fields not just fields you 
want to change, i am guessing that's what is the issue here.

If you check the content of the 400 response you are getting it should 
tell you which other fields it wants you to submit in your payload (or 
any other reason why it's failing)

PATCH would be the method for partial updates like you are trying to do, 
but is currently not enabled/supported on the api.
