[Confluence Cloud] create_or_update_template always returns a 400 JsonMappingException

[mikewyer]

This feels like a bug in the ContentTemplate schema on the server side rather than a code bug, but it's hard to be sure.

What I do know is that trying to update an existing template via the API always fails with:

HTTPError: org.codehaus.jackson.map.JsonMappingException: Can not instantiate value of type [simple type, class 
com.atlassian.confluence.api.model.content.template.ContentTemplate] from JSON String; no single-String constructor/factory method

Example code: successfully fetching an existing template, then trying to "update" it without any changes:

template_data = wiki.confluence.get_content_template(template_id)
confluence.create_or_update_template(
            name=template_data["name"],
            body=template_data["body"],
#            body={"representation": "view", "value": "lorem ipsum"},
            template_id=template_id,
            description=template_data["description"],
            labels=template_data["labels"],
            space=template_data["space"]["key"],
        )

@mikewyer do you have some payload?

[mikewyer]

Yes, right there in the example code

I'm happy to try other invocations with different data if that would help. But I tried to provide the most minimal, valid (according to the API docs) example that shows the problem. I've tried with bigger payloads, downloading an existing template via the API and then playing it back exactly, and it still fails.
