JSON operation .value proprety

Question

JSON operation .value proprety

LoveToCode 161

Hi, I'm not sure how to use the Source and Rel attributes of .Value property of a json operation object. Below is my code in vb.net.

JDocOpearion = New JsonPatchOperation
             With JDocOpearion
                 .Path = "/relations/-"
                 .Operation = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.WebApi.Patch.Operation.Add
                 Dim link = New WorkItemLink
                 .Value = link.Rel = "System.LinkTypes.Hierarchy-Reverse" _
                 & link.Source.Url = witlink.Source.Url
             End With

Always a great idea to include a valid sample bit of json to go along with your question.

   Dim JSDocument = New JsonPatchDocument
                Dim JDocOpearion = New JsonPatchOperation

                With JDocOpearion
                    .Path = "/fields/System.Title"
                    .Operation = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.WebApi.Patch.Operation.Add
                    .Value = Txt_WITTitle.Text
                End With

                JSDocument.Add(JDocOpearion)



                Dim a As Object
                a = WitClient.CreateWorkItemAsync(JSDocument, "Destination Project", "Epic")

I can create a new work item with multiple properties fine. My scenario is I have a list of workitems, and I have an option to Add child to a work item.

I figured it out. here's what I did. @Karen Payne MVP . Please suggest if there's also a better way to do. I love to code. Thank you :)

      JDocOpearion = New JsonPatchOperation  
  
                Dim SRCWitem As New WorkItem  
                Dim WitRelations As New WorkItemRelation  
  
                SRCWitem = WitClient.GetWorkItemAsync(SourceWorkItemID).Result  
  
                WitRelations.Rel = "System.LinkTypes.Hierarchy-Reverse"  
                WitRelations.Title = "Azure devops"  
                WitRelations.Url = SRCWitem.Url  
  
                With JDocOpearion  
                    .Path = "/relations/-"  
                    .Operation = Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.WebApi.Patch.Operation.Add  
                    .Value = WitRelations  /* I added the workitemrelations object */  
                End With  
                JSDocument.Add(JDocOpearion)  
  
                Dim a As Object  
                a = WitClient.CreateWorkItemAsync(JSDocument, ProjectName, "Epic")
