Unable to POST float fields via API

Robert King

Using Python, I am attempting to add some validation test case (VALTC) items using the Python interface to the REST API.

I have done this successfully with other item/object types with no issues.

I am running into an issue when trying to POST an object which includes a Float field type.

Demo of the issue:

Debug view showing the "min$145" field value is a float (1.8) when passed into the POST method:

Error response from the API:

py_jama_rest_client.client.APIClientException: 400 Client Error. Bad Request. API response message: Could not parse min$145 with the value '1.8' from json. Please verify the value. Cause: Expected different type of value


So my guess is that the API at some level converted the value from a float (1.8) to a str ('1.8') which is disallowed because the Min field type is Float:


So I am unable to create these parameters via the API.

Any help would be great!

Hi Carly,

Thanks for getting back to me - our Jama support person advised me to do this as well so I filled out a ticket yesterday.

(Edit: I figured out how to log into the support system via Microsoft Edge, wasn't working on Chrome. Just added a link to this thread)

Support request #67208 if this means anything to you.

Cheers!
