Hi Jim

Would it be possible for you to move over to the new endpoints for
PATCH? that means using /api/type/ID directly, and not /api/type/ID
/prop-name? the old endpoint was just needed as we had very very basic
PATCH support to start with.. now that we support it a bit better (it
still have some issues) the recommended approach is using PATCH
/api/type/ID instead

Title:
  Web API PATCH not working

Status in DHIS:
  New

Bug description:
  I can't get Web API PATCH to work in 2.24 they way I can in 2.21. The
  following commands do not change the names of the referenced
  dataElement or dataSet:

  curl -X PATCH -d '{"name": "New Name"}' -H "Content-Type:
  application/json" -u admin:district
  https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/24/dataElements/fbfJHSPpUQD/name

  curl -X PATCH -d '{"name": "New Name"}' -H "Content-Type:
  application/json" -u admin:district
  https://play.dhis2.org/dev/api/24/dataSets/lyLU2wR22tC/name

  As can be seen by these GETs:

  curl -u admin:district
  https://play.dhis2.org/demo/api/24/dataElements/fbfJHSPpUQD?fields=id,name

  curl -u admin:district
  https://play.dhis2.org/demo/api/24/dataSets/lyLU2wR22tC?fields=id,name

  The same kind of syntax on a local 2.21 system works fine (without the
  /24).

  This is following up a problem reported to me in 2.23, so please
  backport if appropriate. Also please check to see if this should be
  backported to 2.22.
