Working in C#/JSON REST API
I have successfully created an order, as well as have it approved and completed.
I need to update the amount in the CREATED stage.
Here is my request and response that I receive - I believe it has something to do with wither the path value or the entire object I am updating, though I have tried multiple configurations for the object with no success to date:
