Unable to update VM attached IP to Primary IP via Rest API

[akballow]

NetBox version

v2.10.4

Python version

3.6

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create VM Manually - TestVM
2. Create Interface Manually - TestVMnic
3. Attach an IP Manually with setting as primary- 1.1.1.1/24
4. Run API patch call to make the attached IP become the primary
   curl -s "https://netbox/api/virtualization/virtual-machines/1/"
   -X PATCH
   -d '{"primary_ip": {"id": 1}}'
   -H "Authorization: Token XXXX"
   -H "Content-Type: application/json" | jq

Nothing happends

I tried variances like '{"primary_ip": {"id": 1}}' '{"primary_ip": 1}' and '{"primary_ip": "1"}'

Without any luck

Expected Behavior

The non primary IP is not the Primary IP fore the VM.

I do not get this issue for non VM devices.

Observed Behavior

Nothing Happens

primary_ip is a read-only field that returns either the IPv4 or IPv6 address (depending on what's defined and the configured protocol preference).

To assign the primary IP(s) for a device or VM, you need to set primary_ip4 and/or primary_ip6 for IPv4 and IPv6 respectively.
