Insert, update, delete, and order global choices
These code samples show you how to insert, update, delete, and order global choices.
Insert a new choice
The following code sample shows how to add a new choice to global choices by using InsertOptionValueRequest:
// Use InsertOptionValueRequest to insert a new option into a
// global option set.
InsertOptionValueRequest insertOptionValueRequest =
new InsertOptionValueRequest
{
OptionSetName = _globalOptionSetName,
Label = new Label("New Picklist Label", _languageCode)
};
// Execute the request and store the newly inserted option value
// for cleanup, used in the later part of this sample.
_insertedOptionValue = ((InsertOptionValueResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(
insertOptionValueRequest)).NewOptionValue;
//Publish the OptionSet
PublishXmlRequest pxReq2 = new PublishXmlRequest { ParameterXml = String.Format("<importexportxml><optionsets><optionset>{0}</optionset></optionsets></importexportxml>", _globalOptionSetName) };
_serviceProxy.Execute(pxReq2);
Update a choice
The following code sample shows how to update a choice in global choices by using UpdateOptionValueRequest:
// In order to change labels on option set values (or delete) option set
// values, you must use UpdateOptionValueRequest
// (or DeleteOptionValueRequest).
UpdateOptionValueRequest updateOptionValueRequest =
new UpdateOptionValueRequest
{
OptionSetName = _globalOptionSetName,
// Update the second option value.
Value = optionList[1].Value.Value,
Label = new Label("Updated Option 1", _languageCode)
};
_serviceProxy.Execute(updateOptionValueRequest);
//Publish the OptionSet
PublishXmlRequest pxReq3 = new PublishXmlRequest { ParameterXml = String.Format("<importexportxml><optionsets><optionset>{0}</optionset></optionsets></importexportxml>", _globalOptionSetName) };
_serviceProxy.Execute(pxReq3);
Delete a choice
The following sample shows how to delete a choice in global choies by using DeleteOptionValueRequest:
// Use the DeleteOptionValueRequest message
// to remove the newly inserted label.
DeleteOptionValueRequest deleteOptionValueRequest =
new DeleteOptionValueRequest
{
OptionSetName = _globalOptionSetName,
Value = _insertedOptionValue
};
// Execute the request.
_serviceProxy.Execute(deleteOptionValueRequest);
Order of choices
The following sample shows how to set the order of choices in global choices by using OrderOptionRequest:
// Change the order of the original option's list.
// Use the OrderBy (OrderByDescending) linq function to sort options in
// ascending (descending) order according to label text.
// For ascending order use this:
var updateOptionList =
optionList.OrderBy(x => x.Label.LocalizedLabels[0].Label).ToList();
// For descending order use this:
// var updateOptionList =
// optionList.OrderByDescending(
// x => x.Label.LocalizedLabels[0].Label).ToList();
// Create the request.
OrderOptionRequest orderOptionRequest = new OrderOptionRequest
{
// Set the properties for the request.
OptionSetName = _globalOptionSetName,
// Set the changed order using Select linq function
// to get only values in an array from the changed option list.
Values = updateOptionList.Select(x => x.Value.Value).ToArray()
};
// Execute the request
_serviceProxy.Execute(orderOptionRequest);
//Publish the OptionSet
PublishXmlRequest pxReq4 = new PublishXmlRequest { ParameterXml = String.Format("<importexportxml><optionsets><optionset>{0}</optionset></optionsets></importexportxml>", _globalOptionSetName) };
_serviceProxy.Execute(pxReq4);
