Trying to find a way to patch user in SCIM

[akshunds]

Hi.
I am trying to make a PATCH request using SCIM API. However, I cant not find any field to input the new value for the attribute. All inputs in the "value" field (JsonNode) are boolean except nodeType, which only take specific inputs. Am I missing something?

Reference: https://developer.mypurecloud.com/api/rest/v2/scim/index.html
PATCH
/api/v2/scim/users/{userId}

That seems to be a SWAGGER and SDK generation problem. I will report this to the internally and see what we can do to get this producing a better.
If you are using the Java SDK, the object for the value will be a JasonNode as documented here:
https://fasterxml.github.io/jackson-databind/javadoc/2.7/com/fasterxml/jackson/databind/JsonNode.html.
If using Java there are Jackson helpers to help you build JsonNode vai a JsonObject.

JSONObject jsonObject = new JSONObject();
jsonObject.put("tableID", 1);
jsonObject.put("price", 53);
jsonObject.put("payment", "cash");
jsonObject.put("quantity", 3);

The form of the value is specific to what you need to set. The target can be a single value of any type, or complex object. That is why is is no a simple definition. The RFC for SCIM is the best source for what the correct form of the value is in a patch.
There are some examples of valid patches in this post: https://developer.mypurecloud.com/forum/t/some-issues-with-using-updating-users-with-the-scim-api/9167.
It is always best to work out the form of the patch using some type of REST tool such as PostMan to make sure the syntax is valid. This is very complex and even with the best builder class we have available, Unbound SCIM library on GitHub, it takes some experimentation to get correctly formed values.

If using other SDKs, you will likely need build build the patch object using some other JSON mechanism, and then convert it to the SCIMV2Patch.

My recommendation is to use the PUT unless you have a very specific reason to use a PATCH. The PUT in SCIM is defined to be PATCH like, in that it will only alter values supplied in the document. It is not a whole replacement.

Patch works best with things like the Group membership.
{
"schemas": ["urn:ietf:params:scim:api:messages:2.0:PatchOp"],
"Operations":[
{
"op":"add",
"path": "members",
"value": [ { "value": "1ccc85a3-e86f-48ce-b9e4-bd14536aca17" } ]
}
]
}
Note the above is an example of the value being an array of complex values.
If you are using Java the Unbound library is a good place to get a class that will build Scim Patch objects. Then convert those objects to ScimV2PatchOperations using the Jackson:Mapper class.
