UnsupportedOperation: Policy does not support the update method

Hi Jae,

I was able to modify the ASM policy using the modify method - I use Python 3.6 so my code is slightly different

Here's the code I used

from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
bigip = ManagementRoot('ipaddress', 'admin', 'admin')

asm = bigip.tm.asm.policies_s

for policy in asm.get_collection():
    print('Before policy description change: ' + policy.description)
    print('Before policy description change: ' + policy.learningMode)
    policy.modify(description='test')
    policy.modify(learningMode='manual')
    print('After policy description change: ' + policy.description)
    print('After policy description change: ' + policy.learningMode)

Here's the output of the script the first time it is run

Before policy description change: myasmpolicy
Before policy description change: automatic
After policy description change: test
After policy description change: manual

Here's the output of the script the second time it is run - You can notice the values in the policy are now different

Before policy description change: test
Before policy description change: manual
After policy description change: test
After policy description change: manual

Hope this helps

Also I would advise not to post public IP Addresses on public forums
