[Expert@moon:0]#  mgmt_cli -u admin --format json set simple-gateway name "earth" color "gold

  "color" : "black",

  "icon" : "NetworkObjects/gateway",

  "name" : "earth",

  "sic-name" : "CN=earth,O=moon....",

  "anti-virus" : true

So I guess this thing really doesn't work, eh?  I could make changes to host objects, but nothing works on gateway or a management host object.  API changelog shows "simple-gateway" isn't a new command either, ... 

This was really lovely during the gateway version upgrade when I needed to change the platform version to install policy and it didn't work as it was intended.  Thankfully, I knew how to backdoor an SSH port-forward tunnel from my remote management client to the SmartCenter... got in with SmartConsole just to click "OK" on a stupid dialog box and push policy and got it going.  Very lovely indeed... (insert "scowling face" emoji).

 Or am I holding it wrong again?

(now where's that "shrug" emoji... it was here somewhere...)

Worked for me this way:
mgmt_cli -r true --format json set simple-gateway name "mygw" color "gold"

[Expert@moon:0]# mgmt_cli -r true --format json set simple-gateway name "earth" color "gold"

{

  "color" : "black",

  "icon" : "NetworkObjects/gateway",

...

    "lock" : "unlocked",

...

  "name" : "earth",

  "sic-name" : "CN=earth,O=moon....

...

}

Still no go...

It should have worked the way you did it also.
Note that I did it in R80.40 both with the initial release and with JHF 48 just to make sure it wasn't some sort of regression.
I would get the TAC involved here.
