Hi,

I wanted to make a REST API Call using PATCH Method. This is currently not supported by the REST API function in fn_utilities package. I want to know if there is any alternative method/ approach to make a PATCH call from the IBM SOAR.
It would also be helpful if I could find some relevant documents as well.

Hello

I have used the patch method to update an incident in the fn_secureworks_ctp integration found in our public github here.

This is the function that uses patch:

    def _update_incident(self, incident_id, incident_payload):
        """ _update_incident will update an incident with the specified json payload.
        :param incident_id: incident ID of incident to be updated.
        ;param incident_payload: incident fields to be updated.
        :return:
        """
        try:
            # Update incident
            incident_url = "/incidents/{0}".format(incident_id)
            incident = self.rest_client().get(incident_url)
            patch = resilient.Patch(incident)

            # Iterate over payload dict.
            for name, value in incident_payload.items():
                if name == 'properties':
                    for field_name, field_value in incident_payload['properties'].items():
                        patch.add_value(field_name, field_value)
                else:
                    payload_value = incident_payload.get(name)
                    patch.add_value(name, payload_value)

            patch_result = self.rest_client().patch(incident_url, patch)
            result = self._chk_status(patch_result)
            return result if result else {}

        except Exception as err:
            raise IntegrationError(err)​

I don't know of any documentation on the use of patch.

Hope this helps!
