topic Populating request mapping for Rest call task not working in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/populating-request-mapping-for-rest-call-task-not-working/m-p/244654#M197784 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I have a rest call task with a PUT endpoint. The request body needs to be:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>{</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "data": {</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "id": &lt;process_var_1&gt;,</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "relationships": {</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "status": {</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "data": {</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; "id": &lt;process_var_2&gt;</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>}}}}}</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Where &lt;process_var_1&gt; and &lt;process_var_2&gt; are populated at runtime. My request mappings are:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>data.id -&gt; process_var_1</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>data.relationships.status.data.id -&gt; process_var_2</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Instead of the request body shown above, the request body sent to the REST call is:</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>{</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp; "data.id": "1001",</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>&nbsp;&nbsp; "data.relationships.status.data.id": "5"</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>}</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>So you can see that the syntax for JSON properties isn't working as hoped.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Is there a syntax that will work? If not, this seems like a bug, correct? Can anyone suggest another approach?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sun, 19 Jun 2016 15:33:51 GMT chuck_irvine 2016-06-19T15:33:51Z Populating request mapping for Rest call task not working https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/populating-request-mapping-for-rest-call-task-not-working/m-p/244654#M197784 I have a rest call task with a PUT endpoint.
