3 years ago Hi @sysadmin24,
Under Property Manipulation on the wiki, you'll see it links to the document you see if you run Get-Help about_ObjectSettings in PowerShell. In this article, you'll see that PrtgAPI currently natively only supports getting the DependencyType, but not setting it (this is because when you set any property under the Schedules, Dependencies and Maintenance Window section, other properties you didn't specify become unset). As this is a difficult problem to deal with in a performant manner, PrtgAPI currently only supports modifying this property via the Raw API.
Please see #148 for information on how to do this

Describe the bug
Hi , First off this PS module is great! Thanks so much for this.
I've having trouble changing a specific sensor "Ping" the Property DependencyType. I want to change from Parent to MasterObject, so this sensor becomes the master object for the parent device. I can change other properties like the "Interval"
Properties of the sensor =
TypeName: PrtgAPI.SensorSettings
Name MemberType Definition
Equals Method bool Equals(System.Object obj)
GetHashCode Method int GetHashCode()
GetType Method type GetType()

If any further info is needed please let me know. Attached is the section in the GUI for the sensor. It's cut off slightly, but wanted to get all sections in the screenshot.
Thank you!
