Re: URL to Update an attribute

[Acey]

Hi Dan,

One way to do this is to set the attribute using the "set" action in the XML payload that you pass.

From the V1 Platform SDK (http://community.versionone.com/sdk/Documentation/DataAPI.aspx):

How to update a scalar attribute on an asset

Updating a scalar attribute on an asset is accomplished by marking the attribute with act="set", and filling in the new value in the element's text. This post will update the Phone attribute of the Member with ID 20:

POST /VersionOne/rest-1.v1/Data/Member/20 HTTP/1.1
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: 78

<Asset>
	<Attribute name="Phone" act="set">555-555-1212</Attribute>
</Asset>

The response is:

<Asset href="/VersionOne/rest-1.v1/Data/Member/20/173" id="Member:20:173">
	<Attribute name="Phone">555-555-1212</Attribute>
</Asset>

Remarks

The response includes the URL of the exact version of the asset that was just updated.

Hope that helps...

I am using a custom list (http://xxx/VersionOne/rest-1.v1/Data/List?where=AssetType='Custom_business_owners') and the list displays based on the Order attribute which is set upon record creation. I would like the list to be displayed alphabetical on name. To do this I need to set the Order attribute.

 

My question is, what is the URL POST syntax I need to run to set the Order attribute of a specific record in this table/list?

 

Thanks,

Dan
