The operation can get choice lists from one or several projects. To specify a project to get choice lists from, use the ProjId value in the AuthenticationData object in the request body. To get choice lists from several projects, use the ProjIds value in the AuthenticationData object to specify the list of project IDs.

AuthenticationData  :  AuthenticationData, required

An AuthenticationData object with the login information and the ID of the project (or the list of project IDs) whose choice lists you want to get.

Entity  :  string, required

The entity whose choice lists you want to get. Possible values:

  • Bugs (defects)
  • Contacts
  • FunctionalSpecs (requirements)
  • ProjectPlans
  • ProjectPlanTasks
  • ProjectTasks (agile tasks)
  • Releases
  • TestCases (legacy test cases used in release 9.6.0 and earlier)
  • TestConfigurations
  • Tests
  • TestSets

Result

An array of the LookUp objects that contain information on the choice lists of the specified entity.

Example

Sample Code

C#

string login = "[email protected]";
string password = "p@ssword";
int projID = 10372;

// Specifying the desired entity
string entity = "Defects";

ServiceSoapClient service = new ServiceSoapClient();

// Preparing AuthenticationData
LoginInfo loginInfo = service.GetLoginInfo("", login, password);
AuthenticationData authData = new AuthenticationData();
authData.AppCode = loginInfo.AppCode;
authData.UserId = loginInfo.UserId;
authData.PassCode = password;
authData.DeptId = loginInfo.DeptId;
authData.ProjId = projID;

// Loading an array of LookUp objects
LookUp[] lookUps = service.LookUps_Load(authData, entity);
foreach (LookUp lookUp in lookUps)
{
  string values = "";
  foreach (string value in lookUp.Values)
  {
  // Preparing a string with the list of values
    values = values + value + ", ";
  }
  if (values != "")
  {
    values = values.Remove(values.Length - 2, 2);
    Console.WriteLine("{0} contains values: {1}", lookUp.Description, values);
  }
  else
  {
    Console.WriteLine("{0} does not contain values.", lookUp.Description);
  }
}

Java

String login = "[email protected]";
String password = "p@ssword";
int projId = 10372;
// Specified the desired entity
String entity = "Defects";


ServiceSoap service = new Service().getServiceSoap12();

// Preparing AuthenticationData
LoginInfo loginInfo = service.getLoginInfo("", login, password);
AuthenticationData authData = new AuthenticationData();
authData.setAppCode(loginInfo.getAppCode());
authData.setUserId(loginInfo.getUserId());
authData.setPassCode(password);
authData.setDeptId(loginInfo.getDeptId());
authData.setProjId(projId);

// Loading an array of LookUp objects
List<LookUp> lookUps = service.lookUpsLoad(authData, entity).getLookUp();
for (LookUp lookUp : lookUps)
{
  String values = "";
  for (String value : lookUp.getValues().getString())
  {
    values += value + ", ";
  }
  if (values != "")
  {
    values = values.substring(0, values.length()-2);
    System.out.format("%s contains values: %s%n", lookUp.getDescription(), values);
  }
  else
  {
    System.out.format("%s does not contain values.", lookUp.getDescription());
  }
