Update custom properties of IPAM subnet via SWIS (Python)

Hello, i'm writing simple Python script which will create a subnet in an existing parent group. I would like to update two custom properties of a subnet after creation, but cannot find proper syntax for swis.update, for custom properties of a subnet with a known swis URI. Can anyone provide an example of such an update query using swis.update from Python orionsdk?

Thanks,

Wojtek

To update custom properties of an IPAM subnet via SWIS in Python using the orionsdk, you first need the subnet’s SWIS URI after creation, then call swis.update() with the correct CustomProperties object. For example: swis.update(uri + "/CustomProperties", {"PropertyName1": "Value1", "PropertyName2": "Value2"}). This approach ensures you’re targeting the custom properties endpoint rather than the main subnet entity, which is key to making changes stick. Once you’ve got this working, you can reward yourself with a break by deciding where to travel using yes or no wheel for a fun, random destination pick.

To update custom properties of an IPAM subnet via SWIS in Python using the orionsdk, you simply need the SWIS URI of the subnet you just created and then call the update function on the subnet’s CustomProperties, passing in the property names and their values in a dictionary format; this ensures the subnet is updated with the desired details immediately after creation, working much like checking bakers delight prices where you look up exactly what you need without going through unnecessary extra data.
