Updating a Collection Types Dynamic Zones with REST API

Discord Q&A strapi-questions

I’m trying to update the components of a dynamic zone, on a collection type.

What I would like to do is:

  • Update a specific component of the dynamic zone
  • Add a new component to the dynamic zone

However, when I try to add a new component, it overrides the current ones. If I try to send all the current components back, with the new one, it simply fails becasuse of key/values like id, documentId etc.

Am I missing something here?

Yea you need to remove id’s

And give it back whole array

Maybe you can try also connect disconnect

5

The way the components handled by default they are recreated

6

Does this also count for if a component has a media attached to it?

I mean, does it count for the media attached to it. Do I need to remove its id?

8

No I think you need to remove only component ids

To update, I had to remove the documentId from the media as well. However that solved it :slightly_smiling_face:
