iControl REST / Change a setting in ASM logging profile

Question

Hey guys,I want to change the "maximumEntryLength" parameter in a ASM logging profile via REST. I built my URL in Postman like this{{baseurl}}/mgmt/tm/security/log/profile/log-webservices/applicationwith the JSON body&nbsp;{
    "kind": "tm:security:log:profile:application:applicationcollectionstate",
    "items": [
        {
            "maximumEntryLength": "10k"
        }
    ]
}&nbsp;The response is&nbsp;{
    "code": 403,
    "message": "Operation is not supported on property /security/log/profile/log-webservices/application.",
    "errorStack": [],
    "apiError": 1
}&nbsp;I followed the the API guide here:&nbsp;https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-rest/APIRef_tm_security_log_profile_application.html. I also tried a PUT or PATCH but the API tells me a 403. What am I doing wrong here?&nbsp;🤔
