Can not update release definition through API

It seems like I can no longer update a VSRM release definition through the API https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/vsts/release/definitions/update?view=vsts-rest-5.0

The only thing I changed was the version number from 11 to 12 after get release definition.

API URL: https://.vsrm.visualstudio.com/One/_apis/Release/definitions?api-version=5.0-preview.3

Response: { "$id": "1", "innerException": null, "message": "You are using an old copy of release definition. Refresh your copy and try again.", "typeName": "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.ReleaseManagement.Data.Exceptions.InvalidRequestException, Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.ReleaseManagement2.Data", "typeKey": "InvalidRequestException", "errorCode": 0, "eventId": 3000 }

I tried both, the 4.1 and the 5.0 preview api versions. Same error. I use PostMan with PAT. GET works fine.

Can you please tell me what I’m doing wrong?

Do not modify the revision. Submit a modified version of the release definition with the old revision and the server will generate a new version number for the new version.
