Object update not working for custom fields

pynetbox version

v7.3.3

NetBox version

v4.0.3

Python version

3.11

Steps to Reproduce

Hi all!

I have trying to change an existing IP address's custom field (MAC address) and the code runs successfully but the change is not made to the IP address.

I have tried with these approaches:

With Endpoint update:

netbox.ipam.ip_addresses.update([{
       "id": netbox_ip.id,
       "custom_fields": {
              "Computer_MAC": "some new string mac"
       }
}])

With Respons - request update:

ip_address = netbox.ipam.ip_addresses.get(netbox_ip.id)
ip_address.update({
       "custom_fields": {
                 "Computer_MAC": "some new string mac"
       }
})

In previous Netbox versions this script runned successfully so I think something has changed in the API and Django structure.

Expected Behavior

The custom field of the IP address has changed.

Observed Behavior

The custom field of the IP address has not changed.

#598 maybe solve this issue if I am right, but not sure about it.

Also mentioned in this issue: #597

Hi @masikrus! Thank you for reviving this thread I totally forgot that I opened this. I found the solution a few months ago, but I moved on to use RestAPI instead so maybe I don't remember well. The solution was to use https connection with trusted cert (this one was what I missed).

Before that I was using a self-signed cert and just suspended the warning message with urllib3.disable_warnings(category=urllib3.exceptions.InsecureRequestWarning) thinking that for testing purposes I dont need that. Turns out I do.

Can you please try it if it can solve it? If not I will check my archives next week at work.
