getting custom attributes in a single call value in REST

mattslater1980

Hi ,

Can we get custom attributes in the inline parameter in a single call.

Below i am try to get the documents under a folder Id , if i include a custom attribute it throws a error .

I am trying to minimize round trips to get the custom attributes .

Below works when custom attributes are not included

/repositories/era2dev/folders/0b1eb3708023ee0c/documents.json?inline=true&view=r_object_id,a_content_type,authors

Does not work

/repositories/era2dev/folders/0b1eb3708023ee0c/documents.json?inline=true&view=r_object_id,a_content_type,authors,custom_attr

{

  "status": 400,

  "code": "E_INPUT_ILLEGAL_ARGUMENTS",

  "message": "There are illegal arguments provided.",

  "details": "(DM_QUERY2_E_UNRECOGNIZED_HINT) RETURN_RANGE is an unknown hint or is being used incorrectly."

}

The same question was asked at EMC Community Network - ECN: REST Service contains filter on custom attributes, please see answers there.

In Bedrock release, we bring a new parameter object-type which allows to work with the parameter filter to specify custom attribute filtering. Here is the explanation of the new parameter.

To make the filter customizable for sub type attributes, a new query parameter object-type is introduced. Parameters object-type and filter can work together to filter out collection items by sub type attributes. For instance,  object-type=custom_type&filter= custom_name='readme' on a folder child documents resource works now.

Bedrock release is supposed to GA in Q4 2016, but if you would like to evaluate the Bedrock Internal Release, please contact Documentum Platform Product Manager to get the Internal Release binary.
