First I created a carousel post by specifying a message and child_attachments. Then I updated it by specifying a different message and a different set of child_attachments.

But only the message got updated, not the carousel cards. I. e. child_attachments is ignored when requesting a post update.

How can I update the carousel cards? The API reference says "You can update the fields listed in the Publishing sections of the ..., /{page-id}/feed, ... edges." The child_attachments field is indeed listed in that section of the /{page-id}/feed edge.

I am using Graph API v2.5 and I tried this using the Graph API Explorer.

Update: Here is the post and below is the image of the API returning {"success": true} for an update that only partially happened. The image shows the description field to be "4 properties" whereas the post still shows 4 Homes. (Also the $ sign in the description is removed from 200k-500k but the post still shows it.) the post on Facebook

    There is a current bug report for something similar (only `message` can be updated, not `link` – but in their case, they are getting an error message): https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/749078151890513 The fix for that ug is going to be pushed today – so I’d suggest you wait a day to see if that fixes your issue as well, and if not, create your own bug report. – CBroe Jan 20 '16 at 11:13
  • @CBroe Thank you As of a few minutes ago it is still not working. I have updated my question with exact details of my example. I will file a bug report soon but if it looks like I am doing something wrong please let me know. – Real Geek N Jan 21 '16 at 19:28

    Nah, I don’t think you are doing something wrong here – if the API did not like any of the properties you are trying to update or the values you are using, then it should tell you that … instead of saying “success.” So a bug report seems totally appropriate here. – CBroe Jan 21 '16 at 19:38
