What happened?

When updating a license seat via the API using PATCH, the API response indicates a successful update, but the notes field is not actually updated in the database.
The issue is reproducible — the API returns a success message, and the response object includes the new value for notes, but neither the web GUI nor a subsequent API GET request reflects the change.

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri '/api/v1/licenses/11/seats/364'
-Method PATCH -Headers $authHeader
-ContentType 'application/json' -Body '{"assigned_to":148,"notes":"TEST"}'

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

No response

Can you reproduce this on the public demo?

Yes

Do you have full multiple company support enabled?

Yes

If you have full multiple company support enabled, do you have location scoping to company enabled?

Yes

Hm, I'm not able to reproduce this.

Hi, and thanks for getting back to me.
I’m wondering what I might be doing wrong.
Could you please show me what the correct PATCH request should look like to get the expected result?

[snipe]

I was using this:

curl --location --request PATCH 'https://snipe-it.test/api/v1/licenses/1/seats/2' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer MY-BEARER-TOKEN' \
--header 'Cookie: XSRF-TOKEN=MY-COOKIE-TOKEN' \
--data-urlencode 'assigned_to=4' \
--data-urlencode 'notes=TEST AGAIN'

OK,
I think I’ve figured out what’s happening.

When the license is issued for the first time, the notes field is set correctly.
However, if the license is already assigned to a user and I try to update the notes value, it doesn’t seem to work.
