The JSON body of the post fails no matter how I configure it, the documentation says the "value" is optional but if I leave it out it says the value is missing, if I add it it does not like the JSON.

Using the format solution in the API tool.

Adding the value of the version:

When getting started, the simplest way to understand what you need to send is if you start by using the UI and manually entering some configuration. It will show you the structure of the JSON that needs to be sent to create a configuration. You can then manipulate that template/refer to it when sending the actual calls.

[
  {
    "value": {
      "enabled": true,
      "description": "",
      "version": "3.1.16",
      "featureSets": [
        "atq",
        "ldap",
        "dhcpv6",
        "database-ad",
        "dhcp",
        "host",
        "dfsconnections",
        "network",
        "dfsfolders",
        "esent-database-lsa",
        "dns",
        "service-performance",
        "ntlm",
        "dra"
      ],
      "activationContext": "LOCAL"
    },
    "scope": "HOST-1CF8084F8EFBFXXX"
  }
]

Thanks for that tip, I was not having any luck finding proper format in the docs!
