  specifically attr1 and attr2.
  
  
  Expected Results:

  OR
  
  2. An error is displayed informing the user that the values
  failed to be updated.
  
  
  Actual Results:
  
  1. attr2 is updated but attr1 value is not changed.
  
  2. There is no indication to the user (200 OK request received)
  or in the log files that there is a reason why attr1 was not
  updated.
