Sending XML data using Spira's REST API

If you try to send XML as below, only the first field will be correctly interpreted by the XML parser used in SpiraTeam

<RemoteTestCase xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Inflectra.SpiraTest.Web.Services.v5_0.DataObjects">
  <TestCaseStatusId>6</TestCaseStatusId>
  <Description>Description of the new test case</Description>
  <OwnerId>45</OwnerId>
  <Name>The best test case ever</Name>
</RemoteTestCase>

To make sure that all 4 fields will be received correctly by SpiraTeam, so that the API call will be successful, you need to send the XML with all tags in alphabetical order - as below.

<RemoteTestCase xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/Inflectra.SpiraTest.Web.Services.v5_0.DataObjects">
  <Description>Description of the new test case</Description>
  <Name>The best test case ever</Name>
  <OwnerId>45</OwnerId>
  <TestCaseStatusId>6</TestCaseStatusId>
</RemoteTestCase>

If using JSON, the field order is not important.
