Set default tracking category and branding theme on contact - validation error

[latheesan-k]

I am trying to load a contact and update it with the default Sales Tracking Category and Branding Theme.

This is what I have tried:

// Load contacts matching account number
$contact = null;
$contacts = $xero->load('Accounting\\Contact')
    ->where('AccountNumber', (string) $recordId)
    ->execute();
foreach ($contacts as $contactItem) {
    $contact = $contactItem;
}

$brandingTheme = null;
$brandingThemes = $xero->load('Accounting\\BrandingTheme')
    ->where('Name', $updateData['branding_theme'])
    ->execute();
foreach ($brandingThemes as $brandingThemeItem) {
    $brandingTheme = $brandingThemeItem;
}

// Set default branding theme
$contact->setBrandingTheme($brandingTheme);

// Set default partner
$trackingCategoryItem = new \XeroPHP\Models\Accounting\TrackingCategory($xero);
$trackingCategoryItem
    ->setName('Partner')
    ->setOption($updateData['invoice_partner']);
$contact->addSalesTrackingCategory($trackingCategoryItem);

// Save
$contact->save();

The save above is causing this validation error:

SalesCategory is missing a TrackingCategoryName on file C:\xampp\htdocs\xero-updater\vendor\calcinai\xero-php\src\XeroPHP\Remote\Response.php at line 76

This library is more confusing than the api documentation. How is this supposed to be achieved?

You are using the setName function but what you actually need is a setTrackingCategoryName function.

However this function doesn't currently exist. I have created a pull request to add the required functions: https://github.com/calcinai/xero-php/pull/386

Also there is no setOption function, the one you are looking for is addOption.
