It's P1 because the only workaround is to disable the audit message which is often a mandatory requirement in Big Companies

This happens on every attempt to update properties (adding one, removing one, deleting one from the UI, in fact it is the same POST /api/nodes/{node_id} in the API, which suffers from the same problem).

From the groups page, it works though (and it is also a "group update" in the REST API)

But in the request, there is a reason field in the API request from both places, so it is likely a problem in the Node API only, which expects a mandatory reason :

>>> curl  -X POST  -H "X-API-TOKEN: $(cat /var/rudder/run/api-token)" http://localhost:8081/rudder/api/latest/nodes/root -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data '{"properties":[{"name":"audit","value":"testtest"}],"reason":"ras"}'
{"action":"updateNode","result":"error","errorDetails":"An error occurred while updating Node 'root'; cause was: There was an error while extracting reason message; cause was: Inconsistency: Reason field is mandatory and should be at least 5 characters long"}
