`orchestrator assets put-by-id` fails with "assetDto must not be null" while attempting to update an Orchestrator Asset Credential password

[shrayusDesarkar]

Problem Description

When attempting to update an Orchestrator Asset Credential password using the uipath orchestrator assets put-by-id command, the request fails with a 400 Bad Request and the error message is "; assetDto must not be null".

This issue occurs even though the debug output indicates a complete JSON payload is being sent in the PUT request body, including the Key field.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Ensure you have an existing Orchestrator Asset with an ID.
2. Execute the following command, replacing placeholders with your specific values:

uipath orchestrator assets put-by-id --folder-id 5407283 --key 1841598 --name "TestAssest" --description "Hej hej hemskt mycket hej" --can-be-deleted true --has-default-value true --value-scope "Global" -value-type "Credential" --credential-username "service-account-key" --credential-password "hej hopp"--debug

Expected Behavior

The Orchestrator Asset Credential password should be successfully updated without errors.

Actual Behavior

The command returns a 400 Bad Request error with the following response from the Orchestrator API:

{
  "message": "; assetDto must not be null",
  "errorCode": 0,
  "traceId": "00-4a3b5b441ce7a7e81b47e9e3f8828fd4-652e8d6c18ca4ff3-00"
}

The full --debug output:

uipath orchestrator assets put-by-id --folder-id 5407283 --key 1841598 --name "TestAssest" --description "Hej hej hemskt mycket hej" --can-be-deleted true --has-default-value true --value-scope "Global" -value-type "Credential" --credential-username "service-account-key" --credential-password "hej hopp"--debug

This indicates that request parameters are incorrect.

Environment

1. CLI Version: uipathcli/v2.0.51
2. Operating System: Windows 11

Request

1. Can you check the data type of --key. The CLI is expecting --key as Integer and server expects it as string.
2. Can you please update documentation on what are the required parameters for updating password of asset (credential).
