Hi everyone,

I am trying to change the artifact type using the API, my code is below.

I am unable to follow the example procedure shown in the wiki (https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/RMExtensionsAPI502#SetAttributes) because the getAttributes function does not include the ARTIFACT_TYPE in 'result.data' and therefore I cannot just change the attribute as per the example.

When I execute my code, it runs without breaking but does not change the ARTIFACT_TYPE value in the artifact so I am suspicious of the setAttributes function.

Is it possible to do this using setAttributes function, have I made a mistake in my code or is there another way of executing this task?

Thanks in advance,
Andrew

code:

function changeArtifactType()
{
    //Get the Artifact Type attribute
    RM.Data.getAttributes(selectedArtifact, [RM.Data.Attributes.ARTIFACT_TYPE], function(attrResult)
    {
        if (attrResult.code != RM.OperationResult.OPERATION_OK)
        {
            alert('getAttributes failed in the changeArtifactType function');
            return;
        }   

    artifactTypeAttribute = attrResult.data[0];
   
    // Store any required attribute changes here
    var toSave = [];
   
    //Change the Artifact Type attribute value
    artifactTypeAttribute.values[RM.Data.Attributes.ARTIFACT_TYPE].name = 'Requirement';
    toSave.push(artifactTypeAttribute);
   
    // Perform a bulk save changed attributes
    RM.Data.setAttributes(toSave, function(result)
    {
        if(result.code !== RM.OperationResult.OPERATION_OK)
        {
            alert('Error in the change artifact type function)');
        }
    });
    });   
}
