Altering the max priority on an existing RabbitMQ queue using the management REST API

Using the REST API I'm trying to update the priority of an existing queue like so:

PUT /api/queues/%2F/TestEvent_ProcessingService HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:15672
Authorization: Basic <--snip-->
cache-control: no-cache   
{
 "durable":true,
 "arguments":{
 "x-max-priority":2
 },
}

The response is:

{
    "error": "bad_request",
    "reason": "inequivalent arg 'x-max-priority' for queue 'TestEvent_ProcessingService' in vhost '/': received the value '2' of type 'long' but current is none"
}

Is there any way to set this value on an existing queue, or do you need to delete the queue and recreate it with a new "x-max-priority" value?

The answer is in RabbitMQ's documentation:

https://www.rabbitmq.com/priority.html

do you need to delete the queue and recreate it with a new "x-max-priority" value?

Yes.

(cross-posted question here).
