Hi there!

Try migrate BC from 17 to 18, and when test standard API Items V2.0 (default Microsoft API) found an stange behavior of templates.

If do post with baseUnitOfMeasureCode templates don`t work.

Test querry like:

{
"displayName": "testtest",
"baseUnitOfMeasureCode": "BOX"
}

If do querry without baseUnitOfMeasureCode API Setup templates works fine.

Try test with own database and also try demo Cronos Database with default templates and API - same resault.

In BC v17 all works fine, but v18 don`t (try v18.3 and v18.6).

Why when post baseUnitOfMeasureCode via API Setup tamplets stop work?

How to fix that?

Hello,

Thank you for logging this, I see what you mean. I foud out that with this, the template is not applied:

POST MyPC:18048/.../items

{

"displayName": "testtest",

"baseUnitOfMeasureCode": "BOX"

}

But if you replace Code with Id, then it does work:

{

"displayName": "testtest",

"baseUnitOfMeasureId": "1e75fe31-9a1d-ec11-bb75-000d3a299bbf"

}

Would that work for you?

Hello,

Lars, thanks for you answer.

It`s true, if do post of "baseUnitOfMeasureId" instead of "baseUnitOfMeasureCode" API Setup templates are works fine.

But we use API for integration with another accounting system and use CODE of units of measure for exchange between BC and this system.

Unfortunately there are no ability to use the ID of BC items in this system.

Lars, thanks for your response.

I try to investigate this problem by compare v17 vs v18 and found that in table 27 "Item" under OnValidate trigger of field "Base Unit of Measure" in v18 was added

As I understand code, in v18 if field comes from OData or API it insert a record, and API Setup don`t execute.

Also changes comes to codeunit 5465 "Graph Mgt - General Tools", as I undunderstand this CU do the ApiSetup...

I can`t understand why in v18 do that changes and when must call ApiSetup feature.

Maybe you can help me at least understand how to work this ApiSetup functionality? When and from where this part calling?
