Associating XML validation files with RESTful API

Hi again,

 

I tried to follow the steps in the user guide to upload an XML schema and associate it with an XML profile, and was able to successfully upload the schema files, but I am having problems associating them with the XML Profile. Specifically, I am getting the following error:

 

"code": 400,
    "message": "Could not parse/validate the Associate Xml Validation Files Task.  Unknown field 'xmlValidationFileReferences'",

This is the POST request I am sending to

 

   {
"primaryXmlValidationFileReference": {
"link":
"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/5H6ZguLK3BsaliiKcGynRg/xml-validation-files/hsbng7o3s4EcfjbcIxSusA"
},
"xmlProfileReference": {
"link":
"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/5H6ZguLK3BsaliiKcGynRg/xml-profile/Xxxm4pIvMK8k0En0YHYkOQ"
},
 "xmlValidationFileReferences": [
{"link":
"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/5H6ZguLK3BsaliiKcGynRg/xml-validation-files/ca3uNeQm-BuP_la3FygnYA"}
],
"followSchemaLinks": true
}

Any idea what is the problem? I am running BIG-IP 11.6.0 Build 0.0.401 Final

    In case someone runs into the same issue, here is the correct method that I received from F5 Support.

    {
    "primaryXmlValidationFileReference": {
        "link": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/hFFwyy98lK9hFoBHKgke5A/xml-validation-files/xekk_k838ORZDXis01Vavw"
    },
    "xmlProfileReference": {
        "link": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/hFFwyy98lK9hFoBHKgke5A/xml-profiles/-XV1HuV32kFcbamdZrC_WQ"
    },
    "xmlValidationFiles": [{
        "importUrl": "",
        "xmlValidationFileReference": {
            "link": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/hFFwyy98lK9hFoBHKgke5A/xml-validation-files/2uRuW9432F5iQzeNMr9Fzg"
        }
    },
    {
        "importUrl": "",
        "xmlValidationFileReference": {
            "link": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/hFFwyy98lK9hFoBHKgke5A/xml-validation-files/2uRuW9432F5iQzeNMr9Fzg"
        }
    }

    ]
}
