Hello, I have a problem using the PUT method in the admin API

I created the following simple flow tab without any problems using POST method:

```auto
{"id":"1234","label":"Sheet1","nodes":[],"configs":[],"subflows":[]}

```

If I use the GET method on the id it responded with it responds with:

```auto
{"id":"0f2aa1caef0ffc51","label":"Sheet1","nodes":[]}

```

Now I would like just to change the label of the tab flow using the PUT method but it fails

```auto
{"id":"0f2aa1caef0ffc51","label":"Sheet2","nodes":[]}

```

I cannot figure out where I go wrong, any hints? Sample flow below  
(using NR 4.0.5)

Because the id is missing in the PUT request: `http://localhost:1880/flow/[nodeId]`

So with your example the correct URL is `http://localhost:1880/flow/0f2aa1caef0ffc51`
