is it possible to update a collection via OSLC REST call(s)?

Scott Russell (46●8●8) | asked Sep 07 '11, 5:02 p.m.

wondering if it's possible to update a custom field (test owners) of users via any OSLC REST api call(s)?

From the work item it is surfaced as:

&lt;rtc_cm&#58;testowner oslc_cm&#58;collref=&quot;https&#58;//csnext-test.ibm.com/jazz1/oslc/workitems/_CPercMLQEeCTNbydi54xcw/rtc_cm&#58;testowner&quot;/&gt;

and I can follow that resource reference and get the list of User entries...

&lt;oslc_cm&#58;Collection ...

&lt;rtc_cm&#58;User ...

...but don't know how to update the collection. Either adding users to that collection or specifying all users and having the system create a new collection reference.

Anyone successfully done something similar?

In case someone else needs something similar I found something that works for my instance. The custom field "stakeholder" is a collection of users. The update replaces the existing collection with the one given in the partial put. The stakeholder rdf:resource= references are user references.

&lt;oslc_cm&#58;ChangeRequest xmlns&#58;rdf=&quot;....&quot; xmlns&#58;oslc_cm=&quot;...&quot;&gt;

    &lt;rtc_cm&#58;stakeholder rdf&#58;resource=&quot;https&#58;//csnext-test.ibm.com/jazz1/oslc/users/_Q5FdQJK5EeCcIJZPDZHNsQ&quot; xmlns&#58;rtc_cm=&quot;...&quot; xmlns&#58;rdf=&quot;...&quot;

    &lt;rtc_cm&#58;stakeholder rdf&#58;resource=&quot;https&#58;//csnext-test.ibm.com/jazz1/oslc/users/_Xxi-oM5pEeCMlfWEtoQ94g&quot; xmlns&#58;rtc_cm=&quot;...&quot; xmlns&#58;rdf=&quot;...&quot;

&lt;/oslc_cm&#58;ChangeRequest&gt;

note: xmlns references in the code snippet above are abbreviated to "..." but should actually be real references.

It's all about the answers!
