Updating asset metadata via API

Hello,

I am having a hard time using the Bynder API to update asset metaproperties, and I’m unsure what the issue is. I followed this “tell me more” page which seems to suggest this is possible, but doesn’t give more detail specifically for metaproperties:

 

I’m making a POST request to {my_bynder_address}/api/v4/media/{asset_id}, and I have confirmed I have correct authorization and a valid asset ID. When I make a GET request to this endpoint I successfully retrieve asset data.

However, when I switch to a POST request and include my JSON body for the asset data update, nothing happens. I receive a “{"message":"Accepted","statuscode":202}” response, but the asset is never updated. Checking through the UI or the API both show unchanged metaproperties on the asset. Note that these metaproperties are strings, they do not have options associated with them. I have tried formatting my request’s JSON body both like {“metaproperty_name” : “value”} and {“metaproperty”: {“metaproperty_name” : “value”}}. Both yield a 202 response and yet no update is made. 

Any idea on what is happening here?
