Physical Item - Creating a box

PeterYesbut

Hi,

I'm having issue when trying to create a box, via WebService. In particular with the physical attribute, when passing a date.

For out of the box date attributes (fromdate todate), I have no issue passing a date

ie:     CWS.DateValue dateFromDate = new CWS.DateValue
            {
                Key = "poFromDate",
                Values = new DateTime?[] { myBox.FromDate }
            } // FromDate is a date

This works, no problem

But when using the same date(for testing purposes), to

            CWS.DateValue dateDestroyDate = new CWS.DateValue
            {
                  Key = "mtField_Destroy",
                 Values = new DateTime?[] { myBox.FromDate }
            };

Does not work, Content Server throws an error.

I also tried writing this way (same error)

            CWS.DateValue dateDestroyDate = new CWS.DateValue();
            dateShipDate.Key = "mtField_Destroy";
            dateShipDate.Values = new DateTime?[] { DateTime.Now };

This Destroy field, is a date field.

Also,  when a field is a string, it works fine:

            CWS.StringValue TermTo = new CWS.StringValue();
            strValueCmt.Key = "mtField_TermTo";
            strValueCmt.Values = new string[] { "10" };

Only dates have an issue for the mtField

Any clues ? 

(I tought I'd check here, before opening a ticket...)

Tks

Hi Pierre,

 

You might want to cross-post this over at the RM forums.  I don’t know enough about PO to really comment about the intended behavior of its attributes, and the RM folks are the ones who are in charge of those definitions.  From what you’re writing it sounds like all “mtField” attributes are being treated/accepted as strings regardless of underlying type in the CS-side definition.  Sounds a bit odd to me, too.
