Redmine API - "Title Version Type is not included in the list"
0%
Description
We had to map a series of values in our Redmine installation for all our issues. I opted to write a small script to simply iterate, map and call the XML api to set the issues to their new values.
Sometimes however, I got a response like this (HTTP Status Code 422):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <errors> <error>Title Version Type is not included in the list</error> </errors>
I called the API like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <issue> <custom_field_values> <3>Utilities >> Various</3> </custom_field_values> </issue>
(Which btw. is invalid XML as pr. issue #6345, but the docs don't explain how to do it otherwise)
I called the API a total of roughly 470 times, and 80 or so failed with the above error.
Sometimes, I would notice two calls, exactly alike (setting the same new value), where one would give the error - and the other wouldn't.

I also tried using this XML from #8698, which seems to work when I try it - but not in the 80~ish issues which also failed previously. It gives the same error.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<issue>
<custom_fields type="array">
<custom_field>
<id>3</id>
<value>Utilities >> Various</value>
</custom_field>
</custom_fields>
</issue>

A various number of ways.
The HTTP debugger Fiddler, http://fiddler2.com/fiddler2/
C# Programming language
Always a PUT request, other methods are disallowed (Gives 405's if I remember correctly.)

If you're trying to update an issue then you should probably send updated issue_id?
Updated by Michael Bisbjerg almost 13 years ago
Is that necessary if I'm PUT'ing against:
http://site.com/issues/[id].xml?
I thought the ID was implicit then.
If I provide the ID I could've just posted to:
http://site.com/issues.xml?
Some better docs on XML updating would be awesome. Is there are more comprehensive guide than that available here: http://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Rest_Issues#Using-XML ?

No, indeed, please forget about my stupid comment.

Is that possible that you have just added a required custom field which you need to supply a value for?
Updated by Michael Bisbjerg almost 13 years ago
But if the issue already exists, the field must have been filled out - right?
Then again, I've noticed fields being magically set when I update other fields - as the UI doesn't allow for these fields not to be filled out, and thus assumes some 'default' value.
Has anyone noticed the error:
"Title Version Type is not included in the list"
Before?

Well, not if you just added them.
As a final thought, I'd go for a plugin issue if you have any installed?

Ah, right. There are people constantly changing this system at my office.
I'd love to have some better error messages though ;)
