Re: How to add and update custom fields plugin with api

Hello,

For instance, if you created a field "custom inventory number" in the computer object, you can read, write and update the field thru the computer object using the field name "custominventorynumberfield".

As simple as that :-)

Re: How to add and update custom fields plugin with api

I saw the field getting it from the rest api:

id                          : 8
name                        : lastupdatetimestampfield
label                       : Last Update Timestamp
type                        : datetime
plugin_fields_containers_id : 2
ranking                     : 3
default_value               :
is_active                   : 1
is_readonly                 : 0
mandatory                   : 0
links                       : {@{rel=PluginFieldsContainer; href=https://myglpiserver/apirest.php/PluginFieldsContainer/2}}

Now I am struggling with another issue, I am unable to update any field. Asked a question about that in a new post.

Jean-Christophe,

The update succeeds, for fields that have the block type 'Insertion in the form (before save button)'
Fields that have a block type 'Add Tab' give me still a '200 OK' at the PUT webrequest, but the update is not processed!

Anything that I am missing?

Re: How to add and update custom fields plugin with api

I do not use this kind of custom field. Only the 'Insertion in form'.
Currently, I don't have any GLPI instance where I can try :-/

Re: How to add and update custom fields plugin with api

Hello !
You must make a second call to insert the value in the custom field.
When you create a custom field group, the plugin will create a class here: / path / to / glpi / files / _plugins / fields / inc / {field group name}.
You open this file to retrieve the name of this class. ex:
"class PluginFieldsChangesixsevenseveneight extends CommonDBTM {...}"
Each class that extends "CommonDBTM" is accessible through the API.
API call:
1. initSession
2. recovery token session
3. ticket creation
4. insert value into custom fields /apirest.php/PluginFieldsChangesixsevenseveneight/
Tip: Run a test with a get query, to get the names of the fields to fill

Re: How to add and update custom fields plugin with api

Hello together,

I'm trying to get all custom fieldvalues or just all fields.

I have tried every variation for the api request: https://myglpiserver/apirest.php/PluginFieldsCustomField but neither of them have worked.
With: /apirest.php/listSearchOptions/Computer ... I found the correct custom fields but didn't understand how to add it to my request still.
I got some "random" custom fieldvalues with .../apirest.php/search/Computer/ but I would like to get all custom fieldvalues not just a few.

I hope you can help me here

Re: How to add and update custom fields plugin with api

How can I call up the custom fields in a computer asset? For a custom field with the name "Test", do I have to enter it like this?

$GLPI_Link + "/Computer/452/testfield

This does not work.

I would like to retrieve a custom field in an asset as in the example above and be able to update the field.

I can call up the fields or containers in this way:

$GLPI_Link + "/listSearchOptions/Computer/"
$GLPI_Link + "/PluginFieldsContainer/"

But I don't see a link to an asset or a way to change the values.
