REST changeState Task - unable to set to '"On Hold"

G'day

I am putting a utility together to take a Work Breakdown Structure template in Excel and create the Tasks in Clarizen directly from the Sheet. I have the REST API working, but want to tweak it so that they can update the tasks.

Problem: using the changeState call I can make a task state = "Draft", "Active",... but cannot set it to "On Hold"

making a POST to https://api.clarizen.com/v2.0/services/data/changeState

Payload is: {"ids":["/Task/oim41b575uunk0rk9ghtbed94650"], "state":"On Hold"}

{"errorCode":"Internal","message":"An internal error has occurred, the error was logged and will be examined.","referenceId":"3JaMw06LqkFyntcmZqHR5"}

Have tried many variations on upper and lower cases.

And Note the same call works for 'Active' or 'Draft' State

Hi Peter,

Please use value "OnHold".

 

I hope this helps,

Hi there.

what is wrong with my syntax? '{"Ids":["\Project\TESTJ006"]},{"state":"Active"}'

Thank you.

Hi, 

I assume this is for /V2.0/services/data/changeState 

If so, I think the syntax should be:

{
 "ids": [
   "\Project\TESTJ006"
 ],
 "state": "Active"
}

I hope this helps.

Thank you Roland for responding.  I made the changes but it still did not work.
I verified the ServerLocation 'https://api2.clarizen.com/v2.0/services'
I verified the mycontenttxt as '{"ids": ["\Project\TESTJ006"],"state": "Active"}' before it's written to myContent.
And, I verified this project exists with state: Draft
local procedure ChangeState(CLID: text; NewState: Text)
    begin
        if NewState = '' then
            exit;
        mycontenttxt := '{"ids": ["' + CLID + '"],"state": "' + NewState + '"}';
        myContent.WriteFrom(myContentTxt);
        if myHttpClient.Post(ServerLocation + '/data/changeState', myContenttxt, myResponse) then begin
            if not myResponse.IsSuccessStatusCode then
                Error('Response says this was not successful %1 %2', myResponse.HttpStatusCode(),
                        myResponse.ReasonPhrase());
        end ELSE
            Error('My post did not work.');
    end;

actually... my code below had said myContext and NOT myContexttxt... i thought i'd give that a try too. but that won't work because of type mismatch

Hi, which language are you using? I've just tested this in Postman and it worked fine: https://www.screencast.com/t/7HMiPA7Q

I think the problem is in your code. In JS, this would be the correct code I think: 

var data = JSON.stringify({
  "ids": [
    "/Project/33d8mj56td3uj2j4bfzmex3z1548"
  ],
  "state": "Draft"
});
var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;
xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function() {
  if(this.readyState === 4) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});
xhr.open("POST", "https://api.clarizen.com/V2.0/services/data/changeState");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Authorization", "Session xxx");
xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/json");
xhr.send(data);

Best regards,

Roland

Thank you Roland.  I'm using AL which is the language used for Microsoft Dynamics Business Central.

I got my code to work!! Finally!  I needed to clear MyContent and then switch the \ to / on my project id.
