Why is the REST API not able to edit attributes in a saved search?

Hi All

I am having a weird issue where I am trying to update certain attributes for a saved search - it does update few attributes, but not all attributes.

curl -k -u admin:pass -d action.email=0 -d alert.severity=2 https://splunkserver:8089/servicesNS/nobody/search/saved/searches/SAMPLE%20REST%20API%20ALERT

Running this updates the alert.severity to "2" but not setting action.email=0

Am I using it wrong? any help is greatly appreciated
