Issue with setting QoS egress value with API

[RogerMccarrick]

For scripting purpose I need to be able to set egress-max values in QoS with the API.

First I created a QoS profile, TRUST-QOS,  and set the egress-max to 20

In powershell, I have the following:

	$paURL = "https://" + $PAIP + "//api/?key=" + $apiKey + 
	"&type=config&action=set&xpath=/config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/network/qos/profile/entry[@name='TRUST-QOS']/aggregate-bandwidth/egress-max&element=<egress-max>30</egress-max>"
	Invoke-WebRequest -uri $panURL

This is supposed to set the value to 30. The reply I get is :

    set failed, may need to override template object first

This Palo Alto is new (it's a VM), not yet licenced or connected to a Panorama.

However I can set the value in the GUI or on the CLI with :

set network qos profile TRUST-QOS aggregate-bandwidth egress-max 30

Overrides are for templates but as this is not connected to a panorama and has no template.

Any idea why I get this message with the API? I am able to do many other configurations with the API.

thanks.

Solved this with 

action=edit

instead of

action=set
