Azure-docs: Invalid container name when creating an asset

[Yegmorcar-zz]

I'm trying to follow the step to create an asset, however whenever I send the PUT request, I get an error:
{
"error": {
"code": "BadRequest",
"message": "Invalid container name. Check MSDN for more information about valid container naming."
}
}

I'm assuming that it's because of my storage isn't named correctly, however, I've followed the MSDN article on naming and it seems to follow every rule correctly, so I'm not sure why it still says Invalid Container Name.

Thank you

@Yegmorcar, Could you just confirm the section in the document/PUT operation you are having issues with? Kindly do post a screenshot after concealing any private details.
You have stated that you had followed the naming convention from an article, if you haven’t checked the following doc already so, kindly take a look at the following document for more details and review the configuration.
Naming and Referencing Containers, Blobs, and Metadata
The rules for storage account names are the same as for Media Services accounts:

Hello Ajay,

I'm currently trying to do the PUT request for Creating or Updating an Asset, I have attached some screenshots to validate what I'm doing. I've also confirmed when naming my storage account that it's all lowercase, alphanumerical, no white spaces. So I'm not sure why I keep getting an invalid container name.

Edited: Masked PII in screenshot.

@Yegmorcar, Thank you for providing more details. Kindly check the ‘Body’ of the message to review the configuration/parameters as mentioned in this document https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/media/assets/createorupdate, also test the REST API -PUT within the focus mode.

{
"properties": {
"description": "testassest",
"storageAccountName": "teststorageaccountname",
"container":"test"
}
}

If the issue still persists, please do share the ‘Body’of the PUT configuration.

I feel silly, but yes, you're right the storageAccountname and container was set incorrectly in the body. After modifying it, the asset was created without any issues. Thank you for your help Ajay!
