Can't leave blank DNS entries on Virtual SmartZone High Scale 6_1 API?

I'm doing a WiFi setup where everything's handled, the APs are set to IPv4 Static, and the primary/secondary DNS fields are blank.

When I configure them this way on the web, the blank fields are accepted. But if I try modifying the APs to static using the API, I get this message:

{"message":"network.primaryDns is invalid IP address","errorCode":302,"errorType":"Business rule violation"}

Tried using a blank string, and then tried a null value for the primaryDns and secondaryDns, didn't manage to get either working.

Any ideas?

Maybe specify the GW IP, if you don't want the APs to get DNS. Otherwise, there are benefits to using DNS, like having your APs time sync'd via NTP.

Did that work?
