Hi,

if you are trying to update a property of a connection, you can use
something like this:


c = client.get_connection_by_id(id)
s_gsm = c.get_setting_gsm()
s_gsm.set_property(NM.SETTING_GSM_APN, "xyz")
try:
    c.commit_changes(True, None)
    print("The connection profile has been updated.")
except Exception as e:
    sys.stderr.write("Error: %s\n" % e)


See some examples here [1], especially the update-ip4-method.py one.
