AML action "create" vs. AML action "add"

AngelaIp

Hi community,

inside the programmers guide is following lists of actions:

Does anyone of you have a sample that shows how to use the "create" action? It should be similar to "merge" , but so far I wasn´t able to achieve a query that has the described behavior in the guide..

When I want to "create" an item that already exists, it doesn´t "get" the existing item. Instead Innovator complains that the item already exists. Just like it would do when using the regular "add" action.

So right now my "create" action behaves like a regular "add". Is the programmers guide wrong or do I just use "create" the wrong way? Does anyone know more about this one?

Many thanks!

    Hi community,

    so far I discovered that "Create" only seem to work for relationships actions. But I couldn´t use it for single item operations. I wonder if this is a bug or intended behavior. 

    I don´t think the "Create" action was used very often so far. I doubt that most people even know it exists. But it would be really useful!

    In addition I wished, the "merge" action would have a few additional features. I have a use case, where I want to merge an item, but only want to update a few specific properties when an item exists, and not all of the properties. It would be cool if we could specify which properties should be updated on merge (all of them vs. only the specified ones).

    If anyone of the Aras Core team ever came across this thread -> please make "create" and "merge" more powerful! Thanks! Smiley
