Search using v3 api

psaarloos — Fri, 11 Oct 2019 13:41:26 GMT

Hi,

I need to be able to perform an item search operation through API v3 based on the two properties below

Descriptor
Current Workflow State

After reading all the available help documentation, searching the web, etc. I didn't find a way to include the Current Workflow State (WF_CURRENT_STATE) in the search. I am aware of a list of available properties specified in the help, but only lifecycleState is mentioned. This is not the state property I need.

I've noticed it was possible using API v1, but I need to use API v3, because my application is required to use the Autodesk Forge OAuth 3-legged authentication workflow.

How can I perform a search using API v3 which included the WF_CURRENT_STATE property?

Many thanks in advance for your feedback.

It's true that the v3 search does not yet have a way of pinpointing the workflow state.

You could write the workflow state to a details page attribute and use v3 search to find all records matching an attribute that represents the current workflow state. I realize this is a workaround.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your quick response. At least I can stop searching now. Hopefully it will be something to be worked on in the very near future. It's a no-brainer...
