Create/modify confluence property through REST API fails

zaphnet_djm7ww

Attempting to create/update confluence property from a Built in Macro:

Reading(GET) of parameter works fine, but PUT/POST fails w:

Fail: {"statusCode":500,"message":"","reason":"Internal Server Error"}

During debugging the property was created using the REST API Browser, the parameter was also successfully modified using a modified response from a request.

The example from REST API manual was used:https://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/REST/6.6.0/#content/{id}/property-create

{ "key": "example-property-key", "value": { "anything": "goes" } }

When attempting same from macro it fails (GET successful)

AJS.$(document).on('click', '#button_$paramChartID', function() {

    jQuery.ajax({
contentType: 'application/json',
type: 'GET',
url: confbase + "/rest/api/content/" + AJS.params.contentId + "/property/example-property-key",
    }).done(function(response) {
        AJS.log("Response: " + JSON.stringify(response));
        AJS.log("Response.key: " + response.key);
        response.value.anything = "goes" + response.version.number;
        response.version.number = response.version.number + 1;
        jQuery.ajax({
contentType: 'application/json',
type: 'PUT',
data: response,
url: confbase + "/rest/api/content/" + AJS.params.contentId + "/property/example-property-key",
        }).done(function(response2) {
            AJS.log("Response: " + JSON.stringify(response2));
            AJS.log("Response.key: " + response2.key);
        }).fail(function (xhr) {
            AJS.log("Fail: " + xhr.responseText);
        });

    }).fail(function (xhr) {
        AJS.log("Fail: " + xhr.responseText);
    });


});

Confluence server 6.15, JIRA Server 8.3

Hello @zaphnet ,

If you are using Confluence Server then the issue here seems to be with the endpoint called.

Indeed, in your script I can see:

url: confbase + "/rest/api/content/" + AJS.params.contentId + "/property/example-property-key"

 

While the correct endpoint to be called for Confluence Server (from the documentation page you are pointing to) is:

/rest/content/{id}/property/{key} (there is no '/api/' in the endpoint for Server)

 

The endpoint you are using seems to be similar to the one used in Confluence Cloud REST API: 

/wiki/rest/api/content/{id}/property/{key}

 

Please let me know if this helps. In case it doesn't, please try to send the same request body to the same endpoint (using the same credentials if possible) with Curl and paste the response you get in here (making sure to remove the sensitive data). 

 

Cheers,
Dario
