Dropbox Community ModeratorThanks for the report! An InternalServerError can occur on any call, and just indicates that something failed on our side. When this occurs, the API doesn't return much information to the client, so you'll only get that error without any useful details. We're looking into this particular error, and I'll follow up here once I have an update on it for you.
For reference though, based on what I can see, it looks like there was something incorrect about the property you're trying to set. It looks like it may have been modified in the version of the code you set, but for example, make sure you specify the correct/exact field name.
By the way, to retrieve the metadata including the property groups, you'd need to call like this:
print(client.files_get_metadata("FILEPATH", include_property_groups=dropbox.file_properties.TemplateFilterBase.filter_some([TEMPLATE_ID])))Greg-DBDropbox Community Moderator
Dropbox Community ModeratorWith the latest version of the Python SDK (currently 8.5.1) you should now receive a specific error when you try to set an incorrect property value (e.g., using the wrong field name).
