I am having a hard time getting a document's metadata to update using REST. I'm fairly certain I've tried every permutation of the examples I have seen with no luck. I have no problem checking in\out or approving. It's just updating.
I have attempted to rename a document in a library with no luck. I either get anot found or bad request as a response. I'm not sure if I should have PUT or POST. Documentation says PUT.

If you want to update a file's metadata, you'll have to construct an endpoint that reaches the file as a list item. You can do this because each folder is also a list, and each file is also a list item. Construct an endpoint that looks like this:https://<site url>/_api/web/lists/getbytitle('Documents')/items(<item id>)
I tried with items('[%Current Item:ID%]') but that fails also. Has anyone a working example they can show me?
