Label creation with Python

[odo...@gmail.com]

I tried to add a Label to a campaign. In order to do that, I need the ID of the Label so I tried to create the Label before.

operation = [

 {

     'operator': 'ADD',

     'operand': {

         'name': 'New label',

         'status': 'ENABLED',

         # 'xsi_type': '???????',

     }

 }

]

label_service.mutate(operation)

They ask me a Type.Label but there is nowhere I can find which type I can use ... Then I get this error.

INVALID_LABEL_TYPE

Invalid Label type. A specific type of Label is required.

Thank you for your answer,

Martin

Hi Martin,

The type Label is an abstract type -- you'll want to create/specify a TextLabel when creating a new label.

I had this same problem too...would be nice if this was made clear in the documentation, or possibly a slightly more helpful error? I was trying to work out what Label.Type they were wanting, especially given that in the documentation it didn't list this as required.

It was most confusing.

We have something like this in Ruby, maybe it helps you -

     response = label_service.mutate([{operator: 'ADD',

                                                       operand: {xsi_type: 'TextLabel',

                                                       name: label_text}

                                       }])

      response[:value].first

You also may want to check out the Labels Guide, which provides an overview of using labels and also mentions that you should use TextLabel.
