primary_ipv[46] not set via REST/Python

[Pumpanickl]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to get my inventory into netbox. I create a node with a few interfaces for mgmt and a loopback interface with an ipv4 and an ipv6 address. I do this by running four separate calls:

1. Create the device
2. Create interfaces for the device
3. Create IP-Addresses for the interfaces
4. Update the device to use Lo0-IPs as primary_ipv[46] and MGMT-IP as oob_ip

However, the last call does not give the expected result, here as Python:

nb.dcim.devices.update([
    {
        "id": device_id,
        "oob_ip" : ipaddress_ids["oob_ip"],
        "primary_ipv4": ipaddress_ids["primary_ipv4"],
        "primary_ipv6": ipaddress_ids["primary_ipv6"]
    }
])

Result

pprint(list(nb.dcim.devices.get(name='mynode')))

While setting of oob_ip works I get "None" for primary_ipv[46] from a GET-Req. Only when I go to the webinterface device->edit->Management and set the Primary IPv4 to the desired IP/Interface pair from the dropdown, I get the expected result.

Am I doing something wrong here?

primary_ip[46] != primary_ipv[46]

Note the "v" there

Omg, stupid me.
I sat on this for almost two days and couldn't figure it out. :-)

Many thanks
