Question: How to update the vendorClientCorportion from a field interaction?

[Hunter-adam-haydon]

I am trying to update the vendorClientCorportation id from a customText field using the API bridge but not sure where I am going wrong or whether this is the best way of doing it?

var placementId = API.currentEntity;
var venderClientCorporationid = API.getValue('customText42');
var item = {"venderClientCorporation" : {"id": venderClientCorporationid}};
API.appBridge.httpPUT("entity/Placement/" + placementId, item);

Many thanks for the help

Several issues; First, API.currentEntity gives the name of the current entity type; in this case, that'd be "Placement". You probably want API.currentEntityId.

Second, while it's common for REST requests to go the other way, for appbridge it uses httpPOST requests to update existing entities, and httpPUT to update them.

Last, there's a typo; it's "vendorClientCorporation", not "venderClientCorporation"

Full fix would be:

var placementId = API.currentEntityId;
var vendorClientCorporationid = API.getValue('customText42');
var item = {"vendorClientCorporation" : {"id": vendorClientCorporationid}};
API.appBridge.httpPOST("entity/Placement/" + placementId, item);
