Update a custom field with REST API
Hi,
I would like to update a custom field in Clarizen using Rest api using Javascript section of custom panel.
In my custom panel I've a HTML table. This table shows the content of several Custom Fields that are in clarizen (let's take as example "C_ValidatedTotalCost").
I've made the table editable and I would like to know how I can update the custom field using the API. I assume it's the only way I can achieve this.
So when user enter a new value in a td of the table, then the corresponding Custom field should be updated.
Could you please provide me a code example to achieve this ? https://api.clarizen.com/V2.0/services/ is no help for me at the moment.
Of course if you know a different way to achieve this, I'm listening !
Thank you,
Regards

Hi Elad,
It's a succes in getting the data but I'm a bit lost for updating that data :
var ID = API.Context.getData().CUser.EXternalID;
var PMP = 'Select Manager from Project WHERE ProjectManager = '/User/"+ID+"'"; 'Where PMP stands for "Projet Manager's Projets"
API.Objects.query(PMP,function(qResults) {
if(qResults != null && qResults.length > 0) {
qResults.forEach(function(jt) {console.log(jt) );
}
});
It displays me the result in the console. However I've no idea how can I can perform it to update something in a Custom field in Clarizen. This looks to be the basic of basics... If you have any example, I'll be able to manage it. Note that I'm currently telling myself I shouldn't touch that as I'm lacking the basic knowledge !

Hi Steve,
You can update the customer filed (or any other field) using this syntax:
API.Server.post("/data/objects/[EntityName]/[Entity external Id]",{[Field name]: [value]})
for example, I am updating a project (id: 5q86yn1ai9ebvedo5eemuvfnf1) and set the C_ValidatedTotalCost value to 30:
API.Server.post("/data/objects/Project/5q86yn1ai9ebvedo5eemuvfnf1",{C_ValidatedTotalCost: 30})
I hope this helps,
Elad
