Hello @ergao, which VyOS version running? I have played with HTTPS API for DHCP on the latest rolling, and it looks works as expected.

One note: DHCP required more commands, bit more examples you can find in VyOS blog

To compensate for the statelessness, you can send multiple commands at once:

[{"op": "set;", "path": ["system", "host-name"], "value": "vyos-router"},
 {"op": "comment;", "path": ["system", "host-name"], "value": "Modified by the API"},
 {"op": "delete;", "path": ["system", "options", "reboot-on-panic"]}]

Thank you very much for your reply. I’ll go to the blog to find the relevant information。
I use “value” to report the same mistake
