Why increment_id changed when update order status using rest api?

Question

I want to update order status to complete using webapi here is my testing code : $data = array ( 'entity' => array ( 'entity_id' => $id, 'status' => 'complete', ), ); $this->generateApiToken(); $ch = curl_init("https://$this->link/rest/V1/orders/"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_CUSTOMREQUEST, "POST"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode($data)); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array( "Content-Type: application/json", "Authorization: Bearer " . json_decode($this->token) )); $cusJsonData = curl_exec($ch); and when this code runs, the status updated correctly , but the increment_id changed. Can anyone help me with this problem?

I've just had this on v2.2.5, and put it down to a bug in Magento's API. To get round this, you need to specify the original increment_id along with the entity_id when doing status updates. Your JSON should look similar to this: { "entity": { "entity_id":23, "increment_id":"0000000153", "state":"processing", "status":"processing" } } Also, not sure why state and status is required, I just chalk this up to Magento's awful API.
