Hello, I am trying to figure out what the API call is to update a computer group with the “Patch Reporting Software Title” Criteria. a scripting beginner trying to automatically update a bunch of smart groups and for our Patching.

the way we patch has us manually updating a bunch of smart groups to handle what applications need to be updated. we are not in a space to auto update with app installers so we have to manually (installomator/autopgk) apps for deployment.

@TebowTIME I was in the process of testing this out, but you can’t point to a Smart Group using that Criteria. I had to create 2 smart groups. One using the Patch Reporting (B) and another smart group (A) that when you run the API, it adds the smart group B to it and then will add our test group. I created a script with the help of AI, that when ran from self service it would populate the smart group (A) with the data. Before you ran it, you have to get a new token and replace it in the script.
