The "validationFiles" is not allowed to be modified via a PATCH call and will fail validation. Even if validationFiles is passed back in unmodified, the call still fails.
The XML Profile cannot be modified
An ASM REST client attempts to PATCH the mgmt/tm/asm/policies/<ID>/xml-profiles/<ID> endpoint using "validationFiles"
The user can PATCH the object without supplying this field. However if there were Validation Files before, then Bug 541406 will affect them, removing the existing Validation Files. The XML validation file association task would then need to be run again.
ASM REST: The system correctly recognizes that the validationFiles field has not changed in value and does not fail the call.
