Configuring an existing custom field for OpCon | NAGRAVISION Documentation Portal

Request

To specify the data type and/or a localised list of allowed values for an existing custom field, send a PUT request to:

https://<host>:<port>/businessConfig/admin/v1/fields/{fieldId}

Headers

Content-Type: application/json

Mandatory arguments

If you do not supply a value for a parameter that already has a value, it will be set to null.

The recommended approach is to use a GET /field/{fieldId} request to get the field, change the value of the dataType and/or options parameters, then use this modified set of parameters in the body of the PUT request.

fieldId – the ID of the field (in URL)
id – the ID of the field (in body)
name – the name of the field (in body)
dataType – the field's data type. This determines the control that OpCon uses when you edit the custom field. It must be one of:StringIntegerBooleanDateObject
entityType – the type of entity that the field belongs to. One of:EditorialContentTechnicalContentEditorialChannelTechnicalChannelEventNode NodeLinkContentGroupProductProductLinkAccountBillingAddressDevice
value – the default value for the field
displayOrder – determines where the field is displayed in the display order
options – a localised list of values for the field. OpCon uses this list to present a drop-down list of values.

This is not actually mandatory, but it is required for this use case.

This consists of:
- key – the name of the key for which values are being defined
- value – the value for key. This is an array of one or more key-value pairs of the followinf format:
  "<locale>": "<value of key for locale>"
  The value must be of the type specified in dataType.
  
  If you do not need to localise, use "none" as the locale.

Other arguments

scope – for a custom field, this is always custom.
displayName – the field's display name. If not specified, name is used.
isLocalised – whether the field is localised or not
creationDate – field creation date (set automatically if you do not provide a value)
lastModificationDate – field last modified date (set automatically if you do not provide a value)

Example – localised

A PUT request with this payload modifies the specified custom field to specify the type and add/modify a localised list of values for the editorial content entity:

{
    "name": "title",
    "dataType": "String",
    "scope": "custom",
    "isLocalised": true,
    "entityType": "EditorialContent",
    "options": [
      {
        "key": "ComingSoon",
        "value": {
          "fr": "A Venir",
          "en": "Coming Soon"
        }
      },
      {
        "key": "NewRelease",
        "value": {
          "fr": "Nouvelle Sortie",
          "en": "New Release"
        }
      }
    ]
}

Example – non-localised

A PUT request with this payload modifies the specified custom field to specify the type and add/modify a non-localised list of values for the editorial content entity:

{
    "name": "title",
    "dataType": "String",
    "scope": "custom",
    "isLocalised": true,
    "entityType": "EditorialContent",
    "options": [
      {
        "key": "ComingSoon",
        "value": {
          "none": "Coming Soon"
        }
      },
      {
        "key": "NewRelease",
        "value": {
          "none": "New Release"
        }
      }
    ]
}

Response

A successful request returns an HTTP 201 status. The request returns the ID of the field.

A bad request returns an HTTP 400 status.
