ImportList minRefreshInterval cannot be changed via the API (PUT is silently ignored) #23

- added a commit that references this issue
on Sep 25, 2026 Related: #122 makes the Goodreads list refresh interval a per-list setting, which covers the use case behind this.
Thanks, #122 covers the practical need here: being able to lower the Goodreads shelf refresh from 12h.
The API bug in this issue is separate, though. A
PUTthat changes top-levelminRefreshIntervalstill returns 202 and silently discards the change, and #122 doesn't touch that path. #86 makes thatPUTreturn a 400 that explains the field is read-only. I just updated its message to point at a per-list refresh setting when the list type has one. The two PRs don't conflict: the UI echoes back theminRefreshIntervalfrom its last GET, so saving a new Goodreads interval passes the check. I'd suggest keeping this open until one of them lands.

An import list's
minRefreshIntervalfield (e.g. 12:00:00 on a Goodreads Bookshelves list) cannot be changed through the API. The request is accepted without any validation error, but the change never actually applies.Steps to reproduce:
GET /api/v1/importlist/{id}showsminRefreshInterval: "12:00:00".PUT /api/v1/importlist/{id}with the full object, changing onlyminRefreshIntervalto"00:05:00".minRefreshInterval: "12:00:00", not even echoing the requested value back.GET /api/v1/importlist/{id}confirms the stored value is still"12:00:00".Expected: either the field updates to the requested value, or the API returns a clear validation error explaining that the field is fixed/has a minimum.
Actual: the request is silently accepted (202, no error) and the change is discarded.
Impact: there is no way via the API to lower an import list's refresh interval, or to force a fresh source re-fetch ahead of schedule. Manually triggering
POST /api/v1/command {"name":"ImportListSync"}before the interval elapses also does not force a real fetch, it returns"message":"No list items to process"}and does nothing.Happy to provide more detail if useful.
