Bug report: Workflow API v4 update is not working as expected

Hi!

I am working on a solution to update the enrollment criteria of many workflows with the API, however when I send the mandatory parameters in the body, plus the new enrollmentCriteria object, like this:

{
 "type":"CONTACT_FLOW",
 "isEnabled":true,
 "revisionId":"45",
 "enrollmentCriteria": newEnrollmentCriteria
}

the procedure removes all the data that I haven’t sent in the update request. Basically, the name, description, all the actions etc.

Before the update:

Request details:

Method: PUT

URL:

https://api.hubapi.com/automation/v4/flows/${workflowId}

Headers:

{
 "accept": "application/json",
 "content-type": "application/json",
 "authorization": `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
}

Body:

{
 "type": "CONTACT_FLOW",
 "isEnabled": true,
 "revisionId": "58",
 "enrollmentCriteria": {
 "shouldReEnroll": false,
 "listFilterBranch": {
 "filterBranches": [
 {
 "filterBranches": [],
 "filters": [
 {
 "property": "email",
 "operation": {
 "operator": "IS_EQUAL_TO",
 "includeObjectsWithNoValueSet": false,
 "values": [
 "test@test.com"
 ],
 "operationType": "MULTISTRING"
 },
 "filterType": "PROPERTY"
 }
 ],
 "filterBranchType": "AND",
 "filterBranchOperator": "AND"
 }
 ],
 "filters": [],
 "filterBranchType": "OR",
 "filterBranchOperator": "OR"
 },
 "unEnrollObjectsNotMeetingCriteria": false,
 "reEnrollmentTriggersFilterBranches": [],
 "type": "LIST_BASED"
 }
}

After the update:

Quoting the documentation from Accounts Dashboard | HubSpot

Based on this description, I would expect API to try to update only the provided details of the workflow, not to remove every detail which is missing from the body.

In an ideal situation, I could get the whole workflow details, change the parts that I want, and send it back in the update, but not all the actions are covered 100% correctly. For example, the “Send email” action in the API response does not indicate which contacts are the targeted ones: the enrolled or the associated ones. So, without being 100% reliable, we can’t use it like that.

I’d appreciate any workaround ideas or a permanent fix from the Hubspot side.

Thank you!
