Earlier i made Ajax call as Alfresco.util.Ajax.request. I changed it to Alfresco.util.Ajax.jsonPost, now i observe that the request body content type is application/json. But there is no data in the "Request payload".

I found there is something called "dataObj:", which i need to send while making Ajax call. Basically the dataobj will have json data, which is nothing but form input values. I don`t know how to read runtime form values and set in dataobj. Please help.

PS: Attached is the javascript code to create runtime form and to make Ajax call.

Hi,
Can you please upload your javascript and mention in which control values you're not able to read ?
I used lot of custom share forms on Share, but I didn't faced this kind of problem.

Hi,

You need to stringify the json and send it as data to post request sample as below for posting favorites


 var url = "/alfresco/service/api/people/" +username + "/preferences";
    var dataObj = {
        "org": {"alfresco":{"share": {"documents": {"favourites":favourites }}}}
    };
    var data = JSON.stringify(dataObj);


    $.ajax({
        type: "POST",
        url: url,
        async: false,
        data: data,
        contentType: "application/json",
        complete: function (data) {
           
        }
    });
