I am trying to update an App (adding a redirect URI) via API. I have been using the same code for a while, but this time, I got the following error:

`Okta HTTP 400 E0000001 Api validation failed: rotationType\nrotationType: The field has an invalid value`

In case it is helpful, this is via the python SDK.

I am not changing anything about rotation, but hoping someone could point me in the right direction of what field in my API call is the problem - I looked in the docs, but I don’t see anything about nrotationType.

Thanks!

rotationType should be either `ROTATE` or `STATIC` and is a setting for `refresh_token`

API docs for this parameter can be found here: [Applications](https://developer.okta.com/docs/api/openapi/okta-management/management/tag/Application/#tag/Application/operation/createApplication!path=4/settings/oauthClient/refresh_token/rotation_type&t=request)

More info about refresh token rotation can be found in our docs here: [https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/refresh-tokens/main/#refresh-token-rotation](https://developer.okta.com/docs/guides/refresh-tokens/main/#refresh-token-rotation)

Thanks! I was able to fix it by overriding the value, but for reference, I do believe there is an issue either in the API or the SDK. Here is a minimal working example. Even just getting the app and sending a PUT request with the same body will raise the HTTP 400 error above. I am using okta python SDK 2.9.13 for reference.

import asyncio  
import os

from okta.client import Client as OktaClient

async def main():  
app\_id = os.environ[“OKTA\_APPLICATION\_ID”]  
app, resp, err = await okta\_client.get\_application(app\_id)  
\_, \_, err = await okta\_client.update\_application(app\_id, app)  
print(err)

if **name** == “ **main** ”:  
config = {  
“orgUrl”: os.environ[“OKTA\_ORG\_URL”],  
“token”: os.environ[“OKTA\_API\_TOKEN”],  
}  
okta\_client = OktaClient(config)  
loop = asyncio.get\_event\_loop()  
loop.run\_until\_complete(main())

oh, you can reproduce the same issue with a direct API call?
