update custom field via API

[vquie]

Hello,

I know this might have been asked several times but none of the solutions have worked for me so far.

I've got this block called customfield with a custom field called Cost Unit which I want to update using the REST API.

According to some advices I have already found I should PUT the data '{"input": { "costunitfield": "ABC" }}' to https://glpi/apirest.php/Computer/123

The response I always get is [{"123":true,"message":""}] with nothing updated in GLPi.

/apirest.php/listSearchOptions/computer gives me a map for the correct field with the id 76665 which I also tried to update with no luck.

/apirest.php/Computer/123 doesn't show this field at all.

Thanks in advance.

anyone?

Still none? There has to be someone who at least tried to update a field using the api.

Hi,

probably not the solution you want to read, but I update my custom fields in bash scripts by updating the database without problems since several month.

Hi, this ps1 code works for me :

$body='{"input": { "id":123 , "costunitfield": "ABC"}}'

$Parameters = @{ Method = "PUT" Uri = "https://your_glpi_url/apirest.php/Computer/" Headers = $headers Body = $body }

Hi, @Pierre49300 First of all, thanks for sharing. Does your field type is common text?

Anyone have success stories for updating dropdown field?

[Pierre49300]

HI @static302, yes it's a common text, not dropdown field

Hi @vquie, can you give me the name of the block (+ label) of your custom field (name of the tab/category of the field) Thanks

Thanks for your response, but it has been years already. I am working for a different company now and this is not an issue for me anymore as I don't use this plugin anymore. I couldn't even answer it if I tried to. :-)

I am closing this.
