    Ok...so I wasn't able to come up with the warm and fuzzy solution. I get the same error, and I'm not sure why. That said, I have a workaround for you. This works for me with your partition/folder structure loaded on my local test LTM:

    # Use the modify method to PATCH the specific attribute that includes the policies list.
vip.modify(policiesReference={"items": [{"name": "Portal_QA1", "partition": "QA1_Web", "subPath": "Shared"}]})

# Since policies are subcollections, refresh with expandSubcollections attribute to validate at the vip level
vip.refresh(requests_params={'params': 'expandSubcollections=true'})

thank you so much!  that works.  i really appreciate your help with this. it was, as you can imagine, very frustrating, as i couldn't figure out why it was failing.

cheers, and thanks again!
