Looking at http://docs.neo4j.org/chunked/snapshot/rest-api-node-properties.html#rest-api-set-property-on-node you can set the property as just a string in the request, which is valid JSON. I have added to the test to check that after multiple property sets the old ones are still there, see https://github.com/neo4j/community/blob/master/server/src/functionaltest/java/org/neo4j/server/rest/SetNodePropertiesFunctionalTest.java#L99 This should make sure that you can set inidvidual properties.
