This zabbix install was created by upgrading a zabbix 3.4 install.   Same payload works in zabbix 3.4.  I'm stuck trying to figure out why I'm getting this error.

There is problem in documentation example.
Use array like this:

{
  "jsonrpc": "2.0",
  "method": "proxy.update",
  "params": {
    "proxyid": "10516",
    "hosts": [
        {
            "hostid": "10517"
        }
    ]
  },
  "auth": "{{zabbix_token}}",
  "id": 1
}

Thank you.  I've tested this in 6.0 and also 3.4 and it works.

Fixed example on the "proxy.update" page in 6.0 an 6.2 documentation.
