Impossible to patch Account

Question

Is there a configuration to allow patching in SalesForce ?

I tried to patch the Account on Postman, no success. I also tried on Workbench, no success.

My Url (on workbench):

/services/data/v47.0/sobjects/Account/0011F00000YV8wsQAD

The Patch

{
 "AdCloud_PartnerID__c":"5400"
}

The Raw Response (form Workbench):

Raw Response
HTTP/1.1 500 Server Error

Why I can't Patch it ? The Error say sit is an internal error from lightning. I need to do such patch.

From Postman, PATCH + Identification with an access token :

https://myOrga--mySandbox.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v47.0/sobjects/Account/0011F00000YVnnwQAD

The headers Content-Type application/json

Body raw JSON:

{
"AdCloud_PartnerID__c":"5400"
}

I get the Error :

500 Server Error 

Code error :

curl --location --request PATCH 'https://orga-- 
sandbox.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v47.0/sobjects/Account 
/0011F00000YVnnwQAD' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer 00D1F000000YNnMcdT' \
--data-raw '{ "AdCloud_PartnerID__c":"5406" }'

Always an internal error from SalesForce...

Answer 1

PATCH seems no longer supported. A work around is a POST method with a parameter :

_HttpMethod=PATCH

So It becomes :

https://orga--sandbox.my.salesforce.com/services/data/v47.0/sobjects/Account/{id}?_HttpMethod=PATCH

In the Body :

{
  "AdCloud_PartnerID__c":"5400"
}

Please, upvote is it works for you.

Answer 2

Here is a sample of a record update:

PATCH /services/data/v47.0/sobjects/Account/001XXXXXXXXXXXX HTTP/1.1
Host: myorg-dev-ed.my.salesforce.com
Authorization: Bearer 00DXXXXXXXX
Content-Type: application/json

{
    "BillingCity" : "San Francisco"
}
