Hi,

I need to be able to create an EngrFeature item using API, namely with PUT/POST method:

https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/portfolioitem/engrfeature/create

The EngrFeature must have as parent a Feature.

Can you provide an example of a valid JSON to reference the parent object?

Thanks

Hi.

Here is an example. In this example I'm creating a PortfolioItem/Feature under a parent of PortfolioItem/Initiative. Also, you need the ObjectID of the parent, as you can see below. You shall change the portfolio item types to meet your hierarchy:

I hope this helps.

Thanks Sagi for answering.

I tried your suggestion, but I still got an error:

I used this raw JSON body (I tried also without the "Project" and "Workspace"):

{

               "PortfolioItem/EngrFeature":

                              {

                                            "Project": "VERTICAL: SP",

                                            "Workspace": "CSG",

                                            "Name":"My name is Andrea",

                                             "Parent":"portfolioitem/feature/195702777404"

                              }

}

and I get this in response:

{

    "CreateResult": {

        "_rallyAPIMajor": "2",

        "_rallyAPIMinor": "0",

        "Errors": [

            "Requested type name \"portfolioitem/engrfeature\" is unknown."

        ],

        "Warnings": []

    }

}

Also tried with pyral (python API wrapper and got a similar error).

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi.

I don't see that you have a feature with objectid = 195702777404, so perhaps you can check on that.

Also, with regard to the workspace and project arguments that you include in your JSON: I'd imagine you shall refer to them by the _ref rather than by name, however, at least to begin with, I'd say: try to avoid them. So, if you don't specify a workspace and project then it will be created in your default workspace/project. Can you try that first.

Let me know if that helped.
