Update Remaining Effort on Behalf of a User

Greetings,

We have an external timekeeping system that our project team is wanting updates for in their project tasks.  Adding the time entries is easy enough, I just used the createmessage method to add timesheets.  What I'm having trouble with is that we are also wanting to allow updates to Remaining Effort.

The only place I seem to have found Remaining Effort for a task exposed in the API is within the Task entity.  However, when I submit an updatemessage for a given task, the Remaining Effort is updated for our API user, not the desired user.  Is there a way to specify which resource the Remaining Effort update is for?

 

Kind Regards,

-Ryan

Nevermind, I just answered my own question.  I did not realize that all Link fields were also available for the RegularResourceLink.  Once I realized that, it became a simple matter of updating the RegularResourceLink entity itself.

Hi Ryan.

You're quite right. For Individual reporting all work & progress fields are found on the RegularResourceLink.

Thanks for sharing!
