v. 3.7.1 REST API Question(s)

[Henry Versemann]

I am able to setup through my REST API requests to add employees (add request) and assign department relationships  to individuals(update request), while processing an input file.

I have also been able to change the department relationship from one department to another.

But how would I remove a relationship between an employee and a department, if they left their current employment, but we still, at least temporarily wanted to retain the remainder of their other information?

Would I just have to manually make those changes myself to unpublish and/or archive them?

 

Thanks for the help.

The way the REST API update currently works, if you leave out any information (any field and any relationships) when you update the content, that information will essentially be removed from the content.

So if I understand your question correctly, to remove the Employee from the relationship with the Department all you should have to do is update the employee record and not include the relationship field in the update.

John,

OK. That’s easy enough then.

Thanks.
