I'm attempting to update my database using REST, but I'm receiving an error with my object_id. In the response, the 'description' says "Invalid object ID: '9YsTxTRorx'". The id "9YsTxTRorx" in this case is a unique identifier I'm using. I'm not sure why it thinks that's invalid. Maybe I have this whole thing wrong... I've attached some screen shots.
Thanks!
Hi Branden,
object_id is a unique object id generated by Appery.io. If I understand you correctly you need an object containing field with id you fill manually, right?
Hi, Katya. Thank you for your reply.
Oh okay, I wasn't aware that object_id is generated by Appery.io. I thought it just wanted any unique identifier. That would explain the error.
That being the case, where do I find the object_id to pass in my test? Don't I have to provide it in the mappings? If I leave out the object_id in my test, I get a 405 error.

That's weird... your exact same response got posted a second time...
All I'm trying to do is input an array and an unique id into my database. The data is currently stored in localStorage.
Hi Branden,
I'm sorry for this small technical issue 
You can find object_id here https://appery.io/database - this is a field named "_id".
Thank you. Yes, there is a field in the database called _id. But how do I map to it? In the mapping interface, I can map either Local storage variables or Components to the REST interface. Do I have to map _id to localStorage first?
Hi,
If you map it to local storage variable it will be available on all pages (http://docs.appery.io/documentation/u...) if to Component - on current one, so it depends on app logic.
