Hi guys, we are working on the Obsadmin owa and one of the features is to enable updating of a patient’s address. We have realised that a POST request to the /person/{parent-uuid}/attribute/{uuid} endpoint manages to update all the other fields but fails to update the preferred field which indicates a patient’s preferred address.
Can anyone help us get around this? Thanks. -Jackson
The patient must have a preferred address, so just changing the preferred address to preferred=false shouldn’t really work.
Maybe the way to do this is to set some other address to preferred=true? (I don’t know if this will work either, give it a try.)

Thanks @darius, I had previously tried that with three addresses, one of them being preferred, it still did not change to make another address preferred.
This may be a bug in the REST API then. Please create a ticket for this, describing the expected behavior and giving steps to reproduce on some public OpenMRS server.
