Set a property of type d:content via REST API

daniil

Hi all,

How would I create a new node with d:content property via REST API?

I created a custom type containing a property of type d:content:

<type name="thy:daniilFolder">
    <title>Daniil Folder</title>
    <parent>cm:folder</parent>
    <properties>
        <property name="thy:folderProp">
            <type>d:text</type>
        </property>
        <property name="thy:folderDoc">
            <type>d:content</type>
            <mandatory>false</mandatory>
            <index enabled="true">
                <atomic>false</atomic>
                <stored>false</stored>
                <tokenised>true</tokenised>
            </index>
        </property>
    </properties>
</type>

I'm trying to create a new node of this type using nodes/{nodeId}/children REST API like so:

{
"name":"Daniil Folder 2019",
"nodeType":"thy:daniilFolder",
"properties": {
"thy:folderProp": "Some prop",
"thy:folderDoc": "...base64-encoded representation of a PDF file..."
}
}

thy:folderProp gets set correctly, however thy:folderDoc is being set to an empty file:

"thy:folderDoc": {
"size": 0,
"locale": "en_US",
"id": 392,
"infoUrl": "contentUrl=|mimetype=|size=0|encoding=|locale=en_US_"
}

As far as I can see from both the API Explorer and the low-level code, the public V1 REST API does not support dealing with any custom d:content properties. Only cm:content is supported (actually hard-coded).
