Re: Help with updating properties [14.2 in ROSpec]

Hi Bhargav,
sorry not to get back to you sooner.

couple of things:
1. the PUT resource on the object (RO spec 14.2) is for updating ALL
properties, not just a single one.
2. the "complete" property is ALWAYS disabled (you can see that from the
code [1], and from the arguments map in the representation[2]
3. notwithstanding, I think there's a bug in the RO viewer.  I tried
several different formats for the body [3], [4], [5], but got the same
error in each case [6]

So, if you want to raise a ticket for this, then either go ahead and fix
it, or wait for me to do so...

In the meantime, you could workaround by doing a PUT to each of the
individual property resources (per 16.2 of the spec); I believe this is
working fine.

Thx
Dan

[3] this - which is valid according to the spec, I think - didn't work:
{
    "cost" : {
      "value" : 2.75
    },
    "description" : {
      "value" : "An updated description"
    },
    "category" : {
      "value" : "Professional"
    }
}

[4] nor did this:
{
  "members:" {
    "cost" : {
      "memberType": "property",
      "value" : 2.75
    },
    "description" : {
      "memberType": "property",
      "value" : "An updated description"
    },
    "category" : {
      "memberType": "property",
      "value" : "Professional"
    }
  }
}


[5] nor did this:
{
    "cost" : {
      "memberType": "property",
      "value" : 2.75
    },
    "description" : {
      "memberType": "property",
      "value" : "An updated description"
    },
    "category" : {
      "memberType": "property",
      "value" : "Professional"
    }
}
