This does help a lot... still encountering some issues though... for the Boolean values if I send them as true of false I either get:

 

Invoke-RestMethod : {"code":400,"message":"Found unexpected json boolean at configuration item /ltm/policy/~Common~Drafts~TEST_POLICY_AUTOMATION/rules/Testing/conditions/equals. The json boolean is 
true.","errorStack":[],"apiError":1}

or

 

Invoke-RestMethod : {"code":400,"message":"Found unexpected json string at configuration item /ltm/policy/~Common~Drafts~TEST_POLICY_AUTOMATION/rules/Testing/conditions/equals. The json string is 
\"true\".","errorStack":[],"apiError":1}

This is the JSON I am using in my script, basing it off what you sent as a test

 

$ActionsBody = [ordered]@{
    actions =  @{
        name = "0"
        request = $true
        forward = $true
        pool = '/Common/pool_test'
      }
      conditions =@{
          name = "0"
          request = "true"
          httpHost = "true"
          equals = "true"
          values = "www.mydomain.net"
        }
}
 
Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://$url/mgmt/tm/ltm/policy/~Common~Drafts~$Policy/rules/Testing -Method PUT -Headers $Header -Body (ConvertTo-Json $ActionsBody) -ContentType 'application/json'

    If I'm not wrong, PS writes True and False as first letter capitalized.

    Try converting to a lower case string output and do not surround it with quotes.

    This way works for you?

    $ActionsBody = [ordered]@{
    actions =  @{
        name = "0"
        request = $true
        forward = $true
        pool = '/Common/pool_test'
      }
      conditions =@{
          name = "0"
          request = $true
          httpHost = $true
          equals = $true
          values = "www.mydomain.net"
        }
}
$ActionsBody |ConvertTo-Json

    Regards
