JSM Assets REST API Get object {id} referenceinfo question

[Eric Krueger (StrataCom, Inc)]

Using the REST call for Get object {id} referenceinfo shows all INCOMING relationships, but not outgoing.  For example, if I have a desktop with monitors and keyboards attached, they show up as relationships in the graph, but when I hit the desktop with the rest api call, I don't see any related items.  However, for the monitor, I do see the relationship for the desktop.  How do I see all the related records for the desktop?

Hello @Eric Krueger (StrataCom, Inc) ,

Yes, you can do this by updating the reference attributes on the objects. I just tried this out using the PUT object API (https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/insight/rest/api-group-object/#api-object-id-put).

To do this you'll need:

• the attribute id of the outbound reference attribute on your object
• the key(s) or ID(s) of the object to update
• the key(s) or ID(s) of the new outbound reference

e.g. to update object "AB-123" to have an outbound reference to "CD-456" you'd call that PUT API with url

https://api.atlassian.com/jsm/insight/workspace/{yourworkspaceid}/v1/object/AB-123

with a body like

{
  "attributes": [
    {
      "objectTypeAttributeId": "674",
      "objectAttributeValues": [
        {
          "value": "CD-456"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

To do this to update the "inbound reference" you'll need to update the attribute of the object you want to be a new inbound reference.

Similarly you can try it out with GET method
