Archer API - Create Sub-Forms error - Powershell

[DonaldDanielson]

I'm getting an error when trying to create a new sub-form record.

Sub-Form has a couple dates, and a couple text fields.   Its basically a comment form, attached to another application.  I believe I have the format correct, Level ID is from the Sub-Form, and the SubFormFieldID is from the parent application.

{ "Content": { "LevelId": 498, "FieldContents": {
"20196": { "Type": 1, "Value": "Test Message" , "FieldId": 20196 },
"20195": { "Type": 3, "Value": "3/31/2020", "FieldId": 20195 },
"20197": { "Type": 3, "Value": "12/1/2019", "FieldId": 20197 },
"20198": { "Type": 1, "Value": "", "FieldId": 20198 }
}},"SubFormFieldId": 20199 }

$results = Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri $api_url -Body $body -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json" -WebSession $sess

Status : ProtocolError
Response : System.Net.HttpWebResponse
Message : The remote server returned an error: (400) Bad Request.
Data : {}

Looking in the web server logs, I do see an error "Can't save contents from different levels", but I am not completely sure they are related.   All the fields within the body are from the sub-form, except the once from the SubFormFieldID

Also, is there a specific log to look in for API errors ?

DonaldDanielson,

How did you get LevelID? Because it is not the same as moduleID.

Also, you could try over SOAP call just to test:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchemainstance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <CreateSubformRecord xmlns="http://archer-tech.com/webservices/">
      <sessionToken>AE6936AAC5FF08260C3FBA715F810594</sessionToken>
      <subformModuleId>int</subformModuleId>
      <subformFieldId>int</subformFieldId>
      <fieldValues>
        <![CDATA[xmlstring]]>
      </fieldValues>
    </CreateSubformRecord>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

@DonaldDanielson, you have to create the record first (/api/core/content/), then the ID you get back would be it's content/tracking ID  which would be used to update the parent record sub-form ID with that ID.

[DonaldDanielson]

This is my attempt at the first step to create the record, I'm not making it to the second part yet since I am not getting a record ID returned.  This one seems unique in the sense of the additional SubFormFieldID in the body, as compared to all the other examples.

Following this template.  I have gotten other content creates and updates to work, this is my first attempt at sub-forms though.

# CREATE a Sub-Form Record and save the Sub-Form Content Id to be used below.

###########################################################################################################################################
try {
    $api_url = $base_url + "/api/core/content"
    $body = 
    '{"Content": {
        "LevelId": 192, "FieldContents": {
        "13884": { "Type": 1, "Value": "Subform created via REST API", "FieldId": 13884 }
    }}, "SubformFieldId": 13886}'
    $results = Invoke-RestMethod -Method POST -Uri $api_url -Body $body -Headers $headers -ContentType "application/json" -WebSession $sess
    if ($results.IsSuccessful -and $results.ValidationMessages.count -eq 0) {
        $results
        $subform_id = $results.RequestedObject.Id
    }
    else {
        $results.ValidationMessages
    }
}
catch { $_.Exception|Format-List -Force }
finally { $results = $null }

I normally use one of the API calls to get the list;

I was using the wrong one in the code I pasted, but I had been switching back and forth to see I had that wrong.  It is 298
