RM Open Social Gadget: How to create web link
I have an open social gadget in RM that I would like to have create a web link to another system. The RM.Data.createLink appears to only link artifacts to other artifacts. Am I missing something, is there a different API call, or do I have to use REST? If I have to use REST, are there any caveats I need to be aware of?
One answer
What I was missing is that I can create an artifact reference object and populate it with just the web link. What I couldn't do was create a label for the web link like I can through the form. The documentation for ArtifactRef states that there are no properties but that is not true, but there is a caveat about using the internal properties as they are subject to change in the future.
Here is the code:
var targetRef = new RM.ArtifactRef();
targetRef.uri = target;
RM.Data.createLink(artifact.ref, linktype, targetRef, function(result) {
if (result.code != RM.OperationResult.OPERATION_OK){
// handle error
}
});
The "target" value is the URL of the web link.
