LookUps_Update Operation

Applies to QAComplete 14.3, last modified on February 19, 2024

It replaces the values of the choice list data with that from the specified LookUp object. Uninitialized properties are cleared.

First, you usually call LookUps_Load to get an array of all entity’s choice lists, obtain an individual list, add, or delete values on the list and then pass the updated object to LookUps_Update.

Requirements

Any user can add new values to the list, but, in order to delete or replace the values, the authenticating user must belong to a group that has the Delete privilege for Projects.

Parameters

The operation uses the following parameters:

AuthenticationData  :  AuthenticationData, required

An AuthenticationData object containing the login information and the project ID that contains the choice list.

Entity  :  string, required

The entity code which choice list you want to update. Possible values:

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

LookUp  :  LookUp, required

The LookUp object that contains the information on the choice list with updated set of values.

Result

None.

Example

Sample Code

C#

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

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

// Specifying the desired custom list
string lookUpType = "Bugs-Custom1";

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;

LookUp[] lookUps = service.LookUps_Load(authData, entity);
LookUp lookUp = null;
foreach (LookUp templookUp in lookUps)
{

  // Finding the desired choice list in the array
  if (templookUp.Type == lookUpType)
  {
    lookUp = templookUp;
    break;
  }
}
if (lookUp != null)
{

  // Specifying new values
  ArrayOfString values = lookUp.Values;
  values.Add("Users");
  values.Add("Developers");

  // Updating the choice list
  service.LookUps_Update(authData, entity, lookUp);
  Console.WriteLine("The {0} choice list is updated", lookUp.Description);
}
else
{
  Console.WriteLine("The LookUp type specified incorrectly");
}

Java

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

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

// Specifying the desired choice list
String lookUpType = "Bugs-Custom1";
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();
LookUp lookUp = null;
for (LookUp tempLookUp : lookUps)
{

  // Finding the desired choice list in the array
  if (tempLookUp.getType().equals(lookUpType))
  {
    lookUp = tempLookUp;
    break;
  }
}
if (lookUp != null)
{
  // Specifying new values
  List<String> values = lookUp.getValues().getString();
  values.add("Customers");
  values.add("QA");

  // Updating the choice list
  service.lookUpsUpdate(authData, entity, lookUp);
  System.out.format("The %s choice list is updated", lookUp.getDescription());
}
else
{
  System.out.println("The LookUp type specified incorrectly");
