I'm trying to programatically change a workitem's parent using the azure devops api but it's not working as expected.
I tried using update link endpoint and also remove link endpoint but none of them seem to be the correct one given that there is no way I can get a relation ID for the parent-child relationship to use in the request path.
The "relation ID" to send in path: is just the index of the relation being changed or removed in the WorkItemRelation[] on the Work Item being PATCHed.
Use the $expand=Relations argument in the query string of the GET operation for the work item whose parentage you want to change (Get Work Item).
https://dev.azure.com/{YOUR_ORG}/{YOUR_PROJ}/_apis/wit/workitems/{Child_ID}?$expand=Relations&api-version=5.0-preview.2
note: I'm not exactly sure, but I think the {YOUR_PROJ} value can be omitted.
With the resulting workitem object, get the index of the relation where the relation type is Hierarchy-Reverse, and use this as the leaf of the "path": "/relations/{index}" property sent in the PATCH body with op: "remove".
Get response (abbreviated):
{
"rel": "System.LinkTypes.Hierarchy-Reverse",
"url": "https://dev.azure.com/{YOUR_ORG}/_apis/wit/workItems/{Parent_ID}",
"attributes": {
"isLocked": false
}
}
Patch request (body):
[
{
"op": "test",
"path": "/rev",
"value": 1
},
{
"op": "remove",
"path": "/relations/0"
}
]
The examples in the documentation tend to perform a test on the revision of the work item before executing the remove or add operation. This isn't necessary, but it's probably a good idea.

Please what are the constraints in generating an itemId. I generate unique itemId for each item in the form, but the API keeps telling me invalid ID.

When I had tested Google Forms API before, unless I'm mistaken, I had thought that the rule of item ID might be required to be 00000000 to 7fffffff as the hex value. By the way, for example, 0 is used as 00000000.
When I saw your showing request body, you are trying to use 4e637fjc and njyf3izr as the item ID. In the case of these values, the values are not hex values. I thought that by this, an error like Invalid ID occurred.
But, I think that actually, this is not published in the official document. So, I would like to tell this.
Added:
About your following reply,
Do you mean something like this, with Javascript. crypto.randomBytes(256).toString('hex').slice(0, 8)
From your tag, when you want to use Google Apps Script or Node.js, how about the following sample script? Unfortunately, Google Apps Script cannot directly use "crypto". So, I proposed the following sample script.
Sample script:
const res = Math.floor(Math.random() * parseInt("7FFFFFFF", 16)).toString(16).padStart(8, "0");
console.log(res);
In this sample script, the values of 00000000 to 7fffffff are randomly returned.
Missing documentation
I am afraid that since the Forms API is very new there is no documentation about the specific format the ID should have.
I have done a couple of tests with the API and the only thing I was able to figure out is that the ID needs an 8-character-long string to work, otherwise it would not work or would fill out the blank spaces with zeros.
When doing the testing I was also able to find out that sometimes the API would take a specific pattern of letters and numbers, but when changing the numbers and letters it stops working for no reason.
This seems like missing clarification from the documentation, and I would strongly recommend sending feedback about this problem on the API method page. You can do so by clicking the following option at the top right corner of the documentation:
Google tends to check that feedback a lot when talking about missing information. In addition to all that you can also fill out a report in Google's issue tracker so that they investigate the inconsistencies when using the batchUpdate method to update the ID.

I am sending JSON from a NodeJS API to an Angular app to be displayed as part of an Angular component. The returned data is simple Mongo id and name string. The data is present in debugger and Postman like so:
{ "httpAllNames": [
{
"_id": "5d5c54315be61d26c0b2afb8",
"campaignTitle": "Make America Zombie Free Again"
},
{
"_id": "5d5c54735be61d26c0b2afba",
"campaignTitle": "Zmobie Free 2"
},
{
"_id": "5d5d3fb280dead0604fe6f8c",
"campaignTitle": "Universal Basic Income For All"
},
{
"_id": "5d5eeaee3278d24b10093988",
"campaignTitle": "Remove All Zombies from the US"
} ]}
I pass the data from my Campaign Service to the component without any trouble. The code in question for accessing it within the browseCampaigns.component is as follows:
browsingCampaignNames: httpAllNames[];
campaignCountDisplayed: number = 0;
onLoadCampaigns() {
this.browsCampServ.fetchCampaignsForBrowsing().subscribe(camps => {
this.browsingCampaignNames = camps;
});
this.campaignCountDisplayed = this.browsingCampaignNames.length;
}
What I'm expecting is to have an array of as many items as are within the httpAllNames object, however, Angular is treating that as a single array, with the desired array nested within.
I guess what I'm trying to do is 'unwrap' the outer layer so that my browsingCampaignNames property is able to access it.
I've tried adjusting the output of the API by removing the status code and unwrapping it from a generic httpResponse object. I've also tried this.browsingCampaignNames = camps[0]; and this.browsingCampaignNames = camps['httpAllNames']; as though to try to access the data by index, even though those methods are 'hacky.'
Thank you in advance.
I'm writing my first NodeJS app for Google Home (using DialogFlow - formerly API.ai).
I'm looking at the doc on this page: https://developers.google.com/actions/reference/v1/dialogflow-webhook
but I don't see any way to set session variables.
My current test program sets speech like this:
speechText = "I'm not sure that character exists!";
callback(null, {"speech": speechText});
In DialogFlow, my JSON after running looks like this, and it looks like maybe the "contexts" is where the session state would go?

I just noticed from a chat bot course that I bought that you can set up Contexts like this, but still not sure exactly how the contexts get set and passed back and forth between the response of one call of my program to the request in the next call of my program (defined via "webhook").
When I added the contexts above, DialogFlow wouldn't recognize my utterance any longer and was giving me the DefaultFallback response. When I remove them, my AWS Lambda get's called.
For starters, the documentation page you're looking at refers to a deprecated version of the API. The page that talks about the current version of the api (v2) is https://developers.google.com/actions/dialogflow/webhook. The deprecated version will only be supported for another 6 months or so.
You're on the right track using Contexts! If you were using Google's actions-on-google node.js library, there would be some additional options - but they all use Contexts under the scenes. (And since they do use Contexts under the scenes - you should make sure you pick Context names that are different from theirs.) You can also use the sessionId and keep track of things in a local data store (such as DynamoDB) indexed against that SessionID. But enough about other options...
A Context consists of three elements:
A name.
A lifetime - for how many messages from the user will this context be sent back to you. (But see below about re-sending contexts.)
An object of key-value strings.
You'll set any contexts in the JSON that you return as an additional parameter named contextOut. This will be an array of contexts. So your response may look something like this:
var speechText = "I'm not sure that character exists!";
var sessionContext = {
name: "session_variables",
lifespan: 5,
parameters: {
"remember": "one",
"something": "two"
}
};
var contextOut = [sessionContext];
var response = {
speech: speechText,
contextOut: context
};
callback(null, response);
This will include a context named "session_variables" that stores two such variables. It will be returned for the next 5 messages sent to your webhook. You can, however, add this to every message you send, and the latest lifetime and parameters will be the ones that are sent back next time.
You'll get these contexts in the JSON sent to you in the result.contexts array.
The "Context" field on the Intent screen is used for an additional purpose in Dialogflow beyond just preserving session information. This indicates that the Intent is only triggered if the specified Context exists (lifetime > 0) when the phrase tries to be matched with it (or when handling a fallback intent). If you're using a webhook, the "Context Out" field is ignored if you send back contexts yourself.
This lets you do things like ask a particular question and set a Context (possibly with parameters) to indicates that some answers should be understood as being replies to the question you just asked.
I am using Nodejs based mongoskin driver for mongo database operation. I want to update my document however don't want to update few fields. Following are more details.
Request for add:
{
"name": "Theme Name",
"description": "Theme Description",
"createdByUserId": "53651221b25521601a5c9530",
}
Request for update:
{
"_id":"53555ef203dabf282b750a81"
"name": "Theme Name",
"categoryId": "53555ef203dabf282b750a81",
"description": "Theme Description",
"createdByUserId": "53651221b25521601a5c9530",

"dateCreated": ISODate("2014-05-19T19:47:26.603Z"),
"dateUpdated": ISODate("2014-05-19T19:49:28.203Z"),
}
I want to ignore following field send by client.
1. createdByUserId
2. dateCreated
For time being I am taking following approach in update operation:
1. Read collection for given _id
2. Read these above two fields from database and update the request and then perform database update operation
Looking help for clean approach.
Your request for update actually does the following: it replaces everything in the document with the values provided by the request (except for the "_id" of course, which is immutable). What you want is what is called a "partial update" in mongosphere. Please have a look into the $set operator. So what you would do is something like:
db.yourcollection.update({"_id":"53555ef203dabf282b750a81"},
{$set:
{
"categoryId":"53555ef203dabf282b750a81",
"updatedByUserId":"5675561b25521601a5c9530",
"dateUpdated":ISODate("2014-05-19T19:49:28.203Z")
}
}

As far as I know there is now way of sending a complete document to a mongo[s|d] and tell it to only skip certain fields.
Does anyone know how to save a Person field using REST?
I have tried the following and it works:
{
"__metadata": { "type": "SP.Data.SomeListListItem" } ,
"MyPersonFieldId" : 1
}
But this only works if you know the ID. I don't have that! How can I get it? I have the key which is i.0#w|domain\userName.
I tried the following and it doesnt work either:
{
"__metadata": { "type": "SP.Data.SomeListListItem" } ,
"MyPersonField" : { "__metadata": { "type": "SP.Data.UserInfoItem" }, "Name": "i.0#w|domain\userName" }
}
Any ideas?? Thanks!
I haven't done this with a Person field, but I did do something similar with a managed metadata field. I basically had to pass in additional information as an object to create the value in the field.
See if passing in the ID of the user along with the name works. I'm about to try this myself as I have the same need.
{
"MyPersonField": { "Name": "i.0#w|domain\userName", "ID": 1 }
}
EDIT: Ok, updating this field is easier than I thought. I was able to perform the update by simply passing in the ID of the user to the Id field:
{
"MyPersonFieldId": 1
}
This means the user should already be in the site collection, so if the user doesn't exist the request will fail.
Use the below code to get Current User ID to save user under People and group column. People column name is Requestor. But to save user we have to specify column name as RequestorId
var userid = _spPageContextInfo.userId; // To get current user ID
var itemProperties={'Title':vTitle,'RequestorId':userid};
The thing is that User information is a lookup field thereby MyPersonField does not exist on your SharePoint list if you use an OData endpoint, I really don't know how to save data but same problem happened to me when I tried to read a user.
for example {server}/{api}/list/getbytitle('mylist')/items does not return MyPersonField instead return MyPersonFieldId.
But if we use:
{server}/{api}/list/getbytitle('mylist')/items/?$select=*,MyPersonField/Name&$expand=MyPersonField
We are able to work with MyPersonField lookup values.
