Remote API: Trouble linking a Case to a Document with JSON

Wed, 12 Feb 2020 12:39:13 +0000

Hi,

when I try to link a Case to a newly created Document I get the following error:

{
            "@name": "insertDetail",
            "detail": "Case",
            "detailKey": 31,
            "#error": {
                "errorcode": "EConvertError",
                "errorstring": "'' is not a valid floating point value"
            }
        }

I'm using the flowing to link the Case to the Document:

{
"@name": "insertDetail",
"detail": "Case",
"detailKey": 31
}

What could be the cause of this error?

PS. When I try to link in Efficy a Case to a Document I don't have any issues.

Best regards,
Jeroen

How to use InsertDetail

Mon, 07 Mar 2016 17:40:44 +0000

I added a field F_PROJECT to the entity Actions which shows a lookuplist with a selection of our projects. This list works fine and the results are saved correctly.

The only thing I want to add now is that the project chosen in this list is added as main linked project. So I need to add a bit of workflow script with the database edit method InsertDetail or InsertDetail2 but I am not sure which one to choose and how to use these methods. Can someone give me an example of a similar script or explain how to do this? edn.efficy.com does not give enough explanation for me to accomplish this.

thnx!
