UpdateUserData not working

I tried to use UpdateUserData from postman on a new user and using the example provided.

{
  "Data": {
    "Class": "Fighter",
    "Gender": "Female",
    "Icon": "Guard 3",
    "Theme": "Colorful"
  },
  "Permission": "Public"
}

It always returns this error:

{
  "code": 400,
  "status": "BadRequest",
  "error": "InvalidParams",
  "errorCode": 1000,
  "errorMessage": "Invalid input parameters",
  "errorDetails": {
    "Data": [
      "The value for key Class was not valid JSON."
    ]
  }
}

Is there a setup on the game that I'm missing ?

I want to add data to each user I'm creating.

I just ran that exact call in Postman on my own title (literally copying the body of the call above), and it worked fine. Can you send me the Postman Collection containing your exact call, so that I can reproduce this locally?

It's exactly the one in the Playfab Postman SDK 0.37.170223 Collection, I didn't edit anything in the first call (I did edit after though trying to figure out what was wrong).

I'll send the postman collection with just that call to the support email.

Ok, there it is (it was small), I had to rename it to txt to be able to upload it here.

So, I just imported that collection into my Postman, signed into my test title, and ran your example UpdateUserData call. It worked fine, returning an OK, and the player data was updated. Can you get a Wireshark capture (https://wiki.wireshark.org/SSL) so that we can have a look at what you're specifically sending to the service that's being rejected?

Hey Brendan,

First, I just found out the solution.

Instead of sending this:

{
  "Data": {
      "Class": "Fighter"
      },
  "Permission": "Public"
}

I encoded the value like this:

{
  "Data": {
      "Class": "\"Fighter\""
      },
  "Permission": "Public"
}

And now no problem.

What it's interesting to me is that for you, the first one worked fine (as it's the one I sent you before). Can you explain to me why is this ?

Second, installed Wireshark and got lots of packets, I could find the ones related to playfab but there was no json to be found in the calls.

For Wireshark, you need to follow the steps in the SSL guide (linked above) to have the packets be un-encrypted.

For the actual call you're making, and why your Postman install and mine don't act the same, I'm afraid I don't have a way to validate that. The version that works for you should result in the string being in user data with the quote marks in the string. And if I try it locally, that's exactly what I get.
