Setting an Azure Scheduler Job Retry Policy - azure

Question

Using the Azure Management REST API, I'm trying to update (PATCH) an existing Scheduler job with a retry policy. The request is accepted but the json response object doesn't include the retry policy entries.
In the case of an update, other changes I make are reflected in the response.
Azure Scheduler job entity structure: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/azure/dn528941.aspx
Azure Scheduler REST API ref: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/dn528946.aspx
I've be using Burp Suite to quickly iterate through different requests, but I never see anything to suggest the retry policy has been created.
What am I missing?
The following request will create a new job name SampleJob20 (with no retry policy)
PUT /<subid>/cloudservices/<cloudservicename>/resources/scheduler/~/JobCollections/<jobcollectionname>/jobs/SampleJob20?api-version=2014-04-01 HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json
x-ms-version: 2012-03-01
Host: management.core.windows.net
Content-Length: 583

}
}
},
"recurrence":
{
"frequency": "minute",
"interval": 30,
"count": 1000
},
"state": "enabled"
}
The response for this request is:
HTTP/1.1 201 Created

{
"nextExecutionTime":"2014-10-20T19:38:00Z",
"executionCount":0,
"failureCount":0,

}
}
When I try and update this job with a retry policy. The response is missing the retry policy detail.
PATCH /<subid>/cloudservices/<cloudservicename>/resources/scheduler/~/JobCollections/<jobcollectionname>/jobs/SampleJob20?api-version=2014-04-01 HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: application/json

"request":

"Content-Type": "text/plain"
}
},
"retryPolicy":
{
"retryType":"fixed",
"retryInterval": "PT1M",
"retryCount": 3
}
}
}
If I create a new job with a retry policy the response contains the retry detail. However, the jobs retry policy cannot be updated either.

Can you try putting a new or the same job like this (It includes the retry policy in the Put request)
PUT
{
"startTime": "2013-01-30T12:08:00-08:00",
"action":
{
"type": "http",
"request":
{
"uri": "http://bing.com/",
"method": "GET",
"headers":
{
"Content-Type": "text/plain"
}
},
"retryPolicy":
{
"retryType":"fixed",
"retryInterval": "PT1M",
"retryCount": 3
}
},
"recurrence":
{
"frequency": "minute",
"interval": 30,
"count": 1000
},
"state": "enabled"
}
