How to Restore a prior item version as "current" in BIM360 via Autodesk-Data-Management-API

Question

In BIM360, how can I restore a file or plan ( item ) to a prior version . This is possible in the BIM360 UI, see attached Snip.

Interestingly in the BIM360 UI the restored versions show the old version number (in this example V3 ) are restored documents a new item or an old one ??

You can use the following endpoint to restore the file version to a previous one:

POST projects/:project_id/versions?copyFrom={version_urn}
{
    “jsonapi”: {
        “version”: “1.0”
    },
    “data”: {
        “type”: “versions”
    }
}
