Hi guys, I didn't find any other place to report that, that's why I'm doing it here. The documentation for whmap1->modifyacct is misleading, regarding changing the main domain for an account. Link: In the doc it says one must use the 'dns=' parameter, but it doesn't work. The right way to change an account main domain is by providing the 'domain=NEWDOMAIN...' parameter, which seems to work correctly.

  Hey there! This seems more like an omission than a bad entry for DNS. The DNS field is meant to list the primary entry for the account inside the /var/cpanel/users/dbtest file, and is optional. I did confirm the following will update the domain name of an account properly: whmapi1 modifyacct user=username domain=someotherdomain.com
  so I'll be getting that documentation updated shortly.
