Create a document with multi-valued property using REST API - postman

[jaya437]

Hi,

What is the delimiter or format to use for multi-valued attribute on form-data while creating a document using REST API from postman. Following pic could depict the question. Many thanks in advance.

Following is the solution for uploading multivalued attribute along with content using form data, repeat property name in form data which will be read as Aarray by REST API

Thanks

As far as i know, setting multi valued property with multiple value at once was not supported via public api "alfresco/api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1/nodes/".

You can try sending values ", " or ";" separated or [value1,value2] and see if it works (be cautious about the special chars such as {, } in the value), else Contact support and open an enhancement ticket based on their response.

Thank you for replying.

I have tried all sugested options, but none works.

Values are recorded as follows individually where as the expectation is ["Pol001","pol002"]:

["{Pol001,pol002}"]

["'Pol001','pol002'"]

["['Pol001','pol002']"]

["Pol001;pol002"]

["Pol001,Pol002"]

["{Pol001,Pol002}"]

Any more suggestions please.

Like mentioned earlier, multile values were not supported earlier And looks like it is still not supported. Contact support and open an enhancement ticket based on their response.

Thank you, a case has been raised with Alfresco for the same. I will update once we hear back for the case.

@jaya437 seems like alfresco support is suggesting this workaround.
