FYI, you can provide the flavor ID to use during a flavor create.

So if you wanted to change flavor 5 you can delete it and recreate flavor 5 with your changes.

    thx George, yes I tried that, but it will replace the ID of an
    existing flavor, with a uuid. I didn't want to introduce this change
    as it may potentially affect something else, so I went ahead and
    updated nova.instance_types, however I agree this ain't ideal. I'm not
    sure the flavor set/update operation doesn't accept updating swap, or
    other parameters. I assume it may in the worst case cause
    inconsistencies.. thx will
