PUT REST API - no ETag
I try to call the Pega PUT case API in DevStudio, but it requires an ETag.
The response header for the GET I did seconds beforehand is shown in the screenshot. The ETag attribute is missing. The exampels show the ETag in this header.
This is unmodified Dev studio, calling using my own Rest implementation in C# or Soap UI nets the same result. So, how do I get hold of the ETag?

I do get an eTag when i do a GET, see below
btw, eTag is set to .pxSaveDateTime, may be this will help?
From the Case, please see pxSaveDateTime,

I tried, but to no avail. I'll dive into the pxSaveDateTime though as the format is a little different here.

Hi,
Kindly pass the Etag value in double quotes ("") as below,
Note - Etag value expires in 1 minute so you will have to generate a new value with the help of GET method every time you want to update anything.
Kindly let us know if this helped.
Regards,

Okay, for anyone who ever runs into this problem. The answer that works:
Get the case, and look in the plain text JSON for this field
"lastUpdateTime": "2020-04-10T10:13:08.47Z"
Reformat this into this: \"20200709T093127.391 GMT\" (using C#, use this on the date object .ToString("yyyyMMddTHHmmss.fff") )
This field does NOT expire after 60seconds
@Pega => please update the documentation and fix the fact that the ETag is not send in unmodified Pega 7.3.1
