DEVELOPERS FORUM - Not able to assign a string value to the string type attributes of a PR ITEM Type

jacobandrews - Monday, July 15, 2013 2:52 AM:

string sattr1 = "PR-10005"

string sattr3 = "finalchange"

 Item pr1 = MyInnovator.newItem("PR", "add");

                        bRes = pr1.isError();

                        pr1.setProperty("item_number", sattr1);

                        pr1.setProperty("title", sattr3); /// Without this line of code , the PR gets created...

                        pr1.apply();

Please suggest what is wrong in the method of setting the property attribute.

Even if I use pr1.setPropertyAttribute("String","title",sattr3); it does not work

try to return error from  pr1.apply() when you trying to set title

Hi Jacob,

Not sure what is wrong with your code.

It works for me.

This code executed as an action creates the PR with the "finalchange" title as expected.

Innovator inn = this.getInnovator();

string sattr1 = "PR-10005";

string sattr3 = "finalchange";

Item pr1 = inn.newItem("PR", "add");

pr1.setProperty("item_number",sattr1);

pr1.setProperty("title",sattr3);

pr1 = pr1.apply();

if ( pr1.isError() ){

return inn.newError(pr1.getErrorString());

}

return this;

I suggest using the "pr1 = pr1.apply();" syntax then you can check and return the error if there is one.

Hope this helps.

Brian.

Thanks for the reply.

its displays the error "the PR already exists"...

Its displays the same message even if a PR no that does not exist id given as input for creation of the PR.

Hi Brian,

I changed the code like this... Its now works in this fashion...

Now I am setting the affected item attribute at the end ... First I set all the string values....

 Item pr1 = MyInnovator.newItem("PR", "add");                       

                        pr1.setProperty("item_number", sattr1);                       

                        pr1.setProperty("title", "tushar");

                        pr1.setProperty("environment", "tushar machine ssghosig ");

                        pr1.setProperty("events", "seq121212121");

                        pr1.setProperty("description", " desc1  desc sldjflksgflasdnflsanlsnfd slfnlsfnslnf descropr[trtkn");

                        pr1.setProperty("verification", " verification is required for the below nedds");

                        // Set the Affected Item property by getting the tag of the item and attaching it to the item

                        Item qryItem = MyInnovator.newItem("Part", "get");

                        qryItem.setAttribute("select", "item_number");

                        qryItem.setProperty("item_number", sattr2);

                        qryItem.setPropertyCondition("type", "eq");

                        Item results = qryItem.apply();

                        Item pt1 = results.getItemByIndex(0);

                        pr1.setPropertyItem("affected_item", pt1);

                        Item check1 = pr1.apply();
