Bad Request error when adding a link
I'm trying to add a link to an existing work item using REST/OAuth. I get the work item, find its rtc_cm:com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.relatedartifact.relatedArtifact element and get the oslc_cm:collref attribute. From here, I've tried 2 different approaches. First, I tried following the instructions here: https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ResourceOrientedWorkItemAPIv2#Adding_Links_to_a_Work_Item. That says to POST a new link entry to the collection URL. Second, I tried getting the collection, adding a new element and doing a PUT on the collection URL. Both of these ended up with a Bad Request error.
Is there any way to figure out what's wrong with my request? I have no idea where to go from here. Thanks, Eric |

More specific info:
1) I set up OAuth and have a valid token. 2) I have a URL for a work item: https://localhost:9443/jazz/resource/itemName/com.ibm.team.workitem.WorkItem/1 3) I GET that work item 4) I find the rtc_cm:com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.relatedartifact.relatedArtifact element 5) I get the oslc_cm:collref attribute 6) I POST to the collref URL using the following: Content-Type: application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+xml Accept: application/xml content: <rtc_cm:Reference rdf:resource="someURL" oslc_cm:label="foo" /> I have also tried getting the collection, modifying it and doing a PUT with the whole collection. |
I understand the topic is quite old, but for someone who comes across this link searching for a solution, a link can be added using oslc directly using a request of the following type.
Request Method : PUT "Content-Type","application/x-oslc-cm-change-request+json" "Accept","application/json" { "rtc_cm:com.ibm.team.workitem.linktype.relatedartifact.relatedArtifact": { "rdf:resource":"<Link>", "oslc_cm:label":"<Label_Value>" } } Cheers, Arun |

Dashboards and work items are no longer publicly available, so some links may be invalid. We now provide similar information through other means. Learn more here.
