I am looking to use the API's put method to update an infotable property on a specific thing. Using postman I currently get a 406 - Not Accepted with the message being:

So I thought that if I "put" data that is of the exact same format- I should get a 200 ok response.
This is what my API call looks like in the cURL format:
curl --location --request PUT 'https://thingworxURL/Thingworx/Things/HealthAndSafety_Thing1/Properties/HealthAndSafetyReport' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--header 'AppKey: xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx' \
--data '{

I don't understand the api documentation and cannot find the specific method of using put with an info table.
Not sure if anyone can suggest something or help me with this.
Thanks in advance.
