Update an asset via rest api quickly

Rudy Holtkamp

Hi,

I've an asset which has an attribute which can hold multiple reference objects.

To be clear the Application object has an attribute Users, which refers to Employee object. It can be that there are 100+ users in the attribute.

To update the object with a new user, I get the Application object, get all ids of the Users, add the new User and update the Application object. The call is taking more and more time, because of the growing number of values in the attribute.

So basically I'm updating e.g. 100 Employee objects for 101 Employee objects in the attribute.

Is there a quicker way to add just 1 Employee to the User attribute via the REST API?

Hi @Rudy Holtkamp

I don't think its currently possible. as I' ve been searching for this as well.

The only thing I could find, that there is an open issue at Atlassian that relates to this; JSDCLOUD-11392

Thanks @Marc -Devoteam- , it's so painfully slow. I think I have to endure the waiting.

Hi @Rudy Holtkamp

I implemented a similar solution in our system, where we manage application/system License object with attributes for Users and Roles. Each Role is a reference to another object, and when a user requests a new role (or new access with some roles) and it's approved, I use a REST API call to append the new roles to the License object. Here is my method: Atlassian Article. But I think we might using the same method to add object to attribute. Screenshot 2024-09-23 143953.png

In our case, haven't encountered any performance issues yet, but that's only because I don't have a large number of roles in the attribute at the moment.

Thanks @Xijie Yi , did a similar thing as you referenced in the article. It just the sheer amount of references that is bothering me.
