DC 6.0 [Deprecated] Creating combo values

Using BatchUpdateService is deprecated and will be removed in 6.0. Use DC 6.0 Working with combo node definitions instead.

BatchUpdate may be used for more than just setting metadata on assets. It may also be used for creating combo values

URL : /BatchUpdateService.js

Method : POST

Auth required : Yes

Required parameters

Name	Example	Description

Name	Example	Description
accessKey	eb774621-1c2f-467b-b006-a8efa67094a7	accessKey that grants access to the API

The updateXML and values is send as forms data and it looks like this:

updateXML

<r>
	<metacombo_definition fieldId="MetaDataUpdate0">
		<item_metafield_labelid fieldId="item_metafield_labelid"/>
		<combovalue fieldId="combovalue"/>
		<optionvalue fieldId="optionvalue"/>
		<sortindex fieldId="sortindex"/>
		<ispublic fieldId="ispublic"/>
		<visible fieldId="visible"/>
	</metacombo_definition>
</r>

values

[{
	"Id": "MetaDataUpdate0",
	"FieldId": "MetaDataUpdate0",
	"ContainerType": 1,
	"RowId": 1,
	"Values": [{
		"FieldId": "item_metafield_labelid",
		"Type": 3,
		"Values": [51867]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "combovalue",
		"Type": 1,
		"Values": ["test 3"]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "optionvalue",
		"Type": 1,
		"Values": ["3"]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "sortindex",
		"Type": 3,
		"Values": [0]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "ispublic",
		"Type": 2,
		"Values": [true]
	},
	{
		"FieldId": "visible",
		"Type": 2,
		"Values": [true]
	}],
	"BaseId": 0
}]

NOTE: The important parts to change in this example is the combovalue which refers to the name of the combovalue, the optionvalue which refers to a unique id for it (it may be the same as the name) and the item_metafield_labelid which refers to the language version combo on which the value should be created.
