Updating some of the values removes values that are not being provided

We are trying to update a few fields using Update Contact API call. It's removing values that we are not providing in conatcs being updated. For example, when running this JASON update request (
{"last_name":"Smith","custom_fields": [{"id": "6074adfacb52e6383e05fe1e", "value": "Testing update" }]}
It updated these two fields but removed all other values from the contact record.
Please let us know how we can prevent this.

Hi zakali!

Thanks for your request. If you're updating a contact then we're expecting that you're sending the whole contact to be saved to our DB. In your case you can pass partial=true param in order to let us understand that you're doing a partial update and let us update only those fields that you provided us with.
I hope it helps, anyway let me know if it helps and your problem is solved.

Thank you,
Vlad
