This doesn't work for me when I want to update an existing document.

(I'm trying to update the properties of a file)

{ "name": "2891", "nodeType": "cm:content", "relativePath": "/DataHub/EntityData/product/picture", "properties": { "cm:title": "asdas.jpeg" } }

And I'm getting error below

{ "error": { "errorKey": "Duplicate child name not allowed: 2891", "statusCode": 409, "briefSummary": "01050078 Duplicate child name not allowed: 2891", "stackTrace": "For security reasons the stack trace is no longer displayed, but the property is kept for previous versions", "descriptionURL": "https://api-explorer.alfresco.com" } }
