Add label to content template with REST API

[pa...@k15t.com]

Hello Atlassians!

I'm trying to add a label to a content template with the REST API. I've tried to follow the documentation: https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/REST/latest/#template-updateContentTemplate.

So far I've figured out that templateId and name are required parameters, but I still get a 500 error response: 

1. "java.lang.IllegalStateException: Cannot call entrySet() on collapsed object, ensure the property was included in the expansions on the original service request"

This also happens if I pass no data other than templateId and name. What is the right way to call this API endpoint?

AP.require('request', function (request) {
    request({
        url: '/rest/api/template/',
        type: 'PUT',
        data: JSON.stringify({
            templateId: TEMPLATE_ID,
            name: 'My Template',
            labels: [
                {
                    prefix: 'global',
                    name: 'label1'
                }
            ]
        }),
        success: function (response) {
            console.log(response);
        },
        error: function (err) {
            console.log(err);
        }
    });
});

Thanks for your help,

Paul

Hi Paul,

It seems that this piece of reference documentation is inadequate. :(

Also, the API should obviously not throw an exception.

We have created the ticket CRA-1473: could you please add your comments to it, and vote for it?
