I thought I was getting the hang of this stuff, then this didn't work. My eventual goal is to look at many quotes (an itemtype I created) that are linked to a part, select the cheapest one, and fill in a field "quoted_value" in the goal itemtype with that price. Currently I am just trying to create a goal attached to a part, but it is not working, any help would be greatly appreciated.
What I have so far.
Item partGoal = this.createRelationship("Part Goal", "add");
partGoal.setProperty("goal", "cost");
partGoal.setProperty("quoted_value", "123");
Item resultItem = this.apply();
return resultItem;
What makes this more frusterating is that I can get it work using a C# program running on my desktop, and with AML through the NASH interface, but somehow this doesn't work. I think it is because I do not quote understand what "this" refers to in actions.

Scott,
If you have AML that works through NASH why not just use the same AML here?
Innovator inn = this.newInnovator();
Item partGoal = this.newItem("");
string myAML = "whatever AML you have that works";
partGoal.loadAML(myAML);
Item resultItem = partGoal.apply();
if (resultItem.isError() )
{
return inn.newError(resultItem.getErrorString() );
}
Cheers,
Brian.
Brian, Thanks for the advice. I had some luck figuring out how to make it work in a similar way to what I had. I will keep the idea of using raw AML in the future though.
Hi Scott,
It is good you got other way to solve your problem.
But this is suggestion for C# that whenever you are making some changes related to DB.
Return you result with :-- return innovator.newResult(res);
