API Call To Update Order Not Updating Ship By Date?

[mystery]

Pretty weird experience I'm having when trying to update the shipByDate via an API call.  I'm making the correct post request with shipByDate in the body and I get a valid response back with the correct shipBy date. However, when I go into the portal the shipBy date has not been updated.

This has me very confused. The API response says it changed the date, but the date in the portal is not changed. Anyone have any advice?

Hello!

Are you attempting to provide only the shipbydate in the API call? If so, this could be what is causing the issue as you can't do a partial update via the API. The entire resource must be provided in the body of the request.
