Issue/Introduction

Configured a business rule in the Modern UX to trigger when an attribute is set to a particular value.  The rule triggers if the attribute is updated via UI but not if updated via API.

 

Resolution

If you want to make a REST API call that triggers the set attribute rule, you need to include "x-api-rule-engine": "ui" in the header of your call.
