How to pass an array of values to a webscript call

As we transition to the new Hyland Community, some post links may be temporarily disrupted as we finalize redirects. We apologize for the inconvenience and are working to resolve this as quickly as possible. Details.

Hi Guys,

I am calling a webscript (action-execution) which requires me to pass a list of params in the body of the Post.  When I try to pass an array of strings I get the below error.   Also see code below.

Therefore, what is the correct way to pass an array of strings in the body of webscript call so that they are serialised into an array or List by the webscript.

Regards

Brian

The calling code is as follows:

let actionBodyExec = {

   "targetId": mediaItem.nodeRef.substring(24),

   "params": {

      "email_list": ["brian.oneillseedim.com.au","brian.oneill@seedim.com.au"],

      "template_name": templateName,

   }

}

 this.apiService.getInstance().webScript.executeWebScript(

   'POST',

   'action-executions',

   null,

   'alfresco',

   'api/-default-/public/alfresco/versions/1',

   actionBodyExec 

   ).then((data) => {

....},

   function(error) {

      console.error(error);

   });

based on the error details, the server rejects your array. I suggest consulting the documentation to check if arrays are indeed supported there via REST api
