Feature request: Possiblity to only update the properties of a DMS object, not the file itself

[Frankst2]

Hi there, I just started using the SDK, thanks for providing it! I think some feature that might be useful is missing (or I am missing something ;-): The function dms.updateDmsObject can only be used to update an object (file) including the properties. As far as I see the code also requires a file as input: https://github.com/d-velop/dvelop-sdk-node/blob/7eee024712aabe61b405a8475029486d8428a39d/packages/dms/src/dms-objects/update-dms-object/update-dms-object.ts#L88 however it would be useful if the updateDmsObject function (or a new function) could also be used to update just the properties of an object without uploading a new version of the file. According to https://portal.d-velop.de/documentation/dmsap/de/dms-api-538791722.html#DMSApp-API-AktualisiereneinesDMS-ObjektesohneBenutzerinteraktion this should be possible: "Wenn Sie nur Eigenschaften ändern möchten, geben Sie die Parameter contentLocationUri und filename nicht an."

Best regards

Hi @Frankst2 ,

what you are describing should be possible. I tested the following code without any problems:

import { updateDmsObject } from "@dvelop-sdk/dms";

async function main() {

  const ctx: any = {
    systemBaseUri: "<SYSTEM_BASE_URI>",
    authSessionId: "<API_KEY>"
  }

  const resp: any = await updateDmsObject(ctx, {
    repositoryId: "<REPO_ID>",
    sourceId: `/dms/r/<REPO_ID>/source`,
    dmsObjectId: "W300000008",
    alterationText: "test edit",
    properties: [
      {
        key: "68e5d415-7910-449a-871c-afccafbd1859",
        values: ["Update for Frank"]
      }
    ]
  });
}

main();

The UpdateDmsObjectParams also do not require any of fileName, contentUri, contentLocationUri or content (see packages/dms/src/dms-objects/update-dms-object/update-dms-object.ts)

What you are refering to is an internal function. You should never use functions beginning with an underscore by itself. See Advanced Topics for more details.

You're right, looks like I misinterpreted an error message (and the code above), actually it was an error in my JSON. Thanks for testing though!
