Creating a new Preauthorization discards client and description

[PerWiklander]

I'm doing this (yeah, it's scala, bear with me):

val service: PreauthorizationService = Paymill.getService(classOf[PreauthorizationService])
val preauth = new Preauthorization()
preauth.setToken(paymentToken)
preauth.setDescription(order.id.get.toString)
preauth.setClient(
    findClient(customer).getOrElse(createClient(customer))
)
preauth.setAmount(order.orderValue * 100)
preauth.setCurrency("SEK")
service.create(preauth).getId

The intent is to send my order id as description of the preauth transaction and connect it to an existing client or a newly created (by me) one.

What I end up with in Paymill is a preauth transaction with no description and a newly created empty client.

Looking at PreauthorizationService.create I see that only the amount, currency and token is used. The rest of my parameters are disregarded.

public Preauthorization create(Preauthorization preauth) {
    Map<String,Object> params = new HashMap<String,Object>();
    params.put("amount", preauth.getAmount());
    params.put("currency", preauth.getCurrency());

    if (preauth.getPayment() != null) {
        params.put("payment", preauth.getPayment().getId());
    } else {
        params.put("token", preauth.getToken());
    }

    Transaction tx = client.post(resource, params, Transaction.class);
    return tx.getPreauthorization();
}

It looks like the client id might get lost in other situations (Transaction) also.

[PerWiklander]

I created my own PreauthorizationService that just puts the missing values in the params map. Now the client id goes in with the params as expected and I see the correct client in the dashboard.

But even though I put the description in the params it does not end up on the transaction in the dashboard.

Description is not supported for Preauthorizations. https://www.paymill.com/en-gb/documentation-3/reference/api-reference/#create-new-preauthorization-with

[PerWiklander]

Maybe the Preauthorization class should not have a description property then. Is it also true that a transaction with status "PREAUTH" can not be updated with a description? I wanted to keep track of the order number there.

[stoilkov]

Preauthorization objects in the REST API do have a description field. It is currently not recognized as parameter, but this will hopefully be fixed soon. The description field of transactions can be updated: https://www.paymill.com/en-gb/documentation-3/reference/api-reference/#update-transaction . Works also for transactions with PREAUTH status, just checked.

I will leave this issue open, until we have a confirmation that description of preauthorizations is available.
