Description

When using the api to change a hosts subnet to one that has dhcp, the api call fails with error message: IP address is invalid

Instead of the error I would like the api to use a free dhcp ipaddress for the choosen subnet.

Sorry error in description should be:

{"host":{"id":53,"errors":{"ip":["Does not match selected Subnet"]},"full_messages":["IP address Does not match selected Subnet"]}}

when only updating/changing subnet. (host already had an ip adress in the old subnet)

and

{"host":{"id":53,"errors":{"ip":["is invalid"]},"full_messages":["IP address is invalid"]}}

when trying to also update ip to an empty string to see if it would trigger the auto-ip.

If I update subnet to the same subnet as it already is then the call with not give an error, but thats because nothing changes.

Can you try setting the IP to a null value at the same time, rather than an empty string? "ip": null in JSON terms.
