Missing Patch Operation to update Network Appliance Firewall l3/L7 Firewall Rules

Currently, the API-Endpoints to update the L2 and L7 firewalls support only the PUT operation to update the rules.

 Since the original rules get replaced, there is a high risk of unwittingly overwriting all existing rules instead of just adding a new rule.

Would it be possible to add a PATCH operation to add/update/remove single firewall rules?

Or an endpoint to edit single rules?


Thanks in advance!

The Meraki control panel API does not currently provide a PATCH method or any endpoint for handling individual Layer 3 or Layer 7 firewall rules.

Thanks! I wasn't able to find where to place feature requests, but maybe i haven't searched thoroughly enough. Could you point me in the right direction?

Ok, thanks!
I think i did that a while ago and never heard back, so i wasnt sure if that was the correct approach.
Thank you for your help!
