/team_folder/update_sync_settings unsupported_configuration

I am trying to update the selective sync settings on some subfolders of a team folder. I entered the following: 

{

    "host": {

        "connectionReferenceName": "shared_dropboxapi-5f21acac037128735f-5f23bdb579ede2909f",

        "operationId": "Team_folder_update_sync_settings"

    },

    "parameters": {

        "Content-Type": " application/json",

        "body/team_folder_id": "1994063569",

        "body/sync_setting": "default",

        "body/content_sync_settings": [

            {

                "id": "id:UcDpaFIqZiUAAAAAAAAwKQ",

                "sync_setting": "not_synced"

            }

        ]

    }

}

However, it returns an error stating: 

unsupported_configuration

 

Is there something I am doing wrong? As far as I can see, everything is in line with the documentation.

This is indicating that this particular request can't be supported either due to constraints on the backend, or because of the state of the relevant folders. For instance, the specified folder may be located too deep in the directory tree to support this feature, or otherwise the folder may be contained inside another folder that is itself not synced. In the latter case, you could address this by setting the parent folder to be synced.

 

Apologies this isn't better documented! I'll ask the team to see if we can improve the documentation to make this clearer.
