REST - change class of document

Question

Hello, 
 
 my question is simply "how to change the class of an object via the REST API". I didn't found the answer in the documentation nor in this forum. 
 
 When I tried to just POST the new value of the property class, it don't want to.

Thanks for the help, 
 Amaury

The issue is that under the bonnet this ends up calling M-Files API - SetProperty Method . That COM API method has a note to say that you can't use it to change a class. 
 I don't know whether I've tried this, but I think the only possibility would be to do a PUT to M-Files Web Service: Object properties . It means you need to provide all the properties, not just the class, though.
