Does Bugzilla 5.2 REST API support "Update User" with PUT /rest/user/3 with API key ? .

[David Miller]

The error message you're getting would happen if you have a "keywords" 
object in your JSON payload. Your example doesn't show one, though, 
which doesn't make sense. Did you simplify the example without actually 
trying it that way?  I tried your example exactly as-is (except with the 
URL and api key changed of course) and it works fine on mine.
