Access custom attribute value through Rest API


pere irazusta (2062120) | asked Nov 17 '11, 6:10 a.m.
Hi,

I'm trying to acces the value of a custom attribute through the Rest Api but I can't find how. I've doing some test based on:
https://jazz.net/wiki/bin/view/Main/ReportsRESTAPI#workitem

I've been able to to acces some data from the custom attribute with:

...workitem/workItem/customAttributes|(identifier|attributeType )

but still can't get the value itself.

Any idea? Thanks!

Pere

Hi Pere,

In the Reportable REST API, there are two ways you can access those values. Either use the type-specific properties

...workitem/workItem/booleanExtensions/(key|value)
...workitem/workItem/integerExtensions/(key|value)
...workitem/workItem/doubleExtensions/(key|value)
...workitem/workItem/smallStringExtensions/(key|value)
...workitem/workItem/mediumStringExtensions/(key|value)
...workitem/workItem/largeStringExtensions/(key|value)
...workitem/workItem/timestampExtensions/(key|value)

or the allExtensions property which returns all types in a single call.

...workitem/workItem/allExtensions/(key| type| booleanValue| integerValue| longValue| doubleValue| smallStringValue| mediumStringValue| largeStringValue| timestampValue| decimalValue)

The API doesn't seem to provide a way to access all values; as far as I can tell it's limited to enumerations and attributes of the data types listed above.

Thanks for your answer!

With the option ..workitem/workItem/allExtensions/ it has worked perfectly!
