Create and update requests

Void setValue(String colName, String value)

Sets a named field to the given value. Look up names in the reference section down below, or check out the class reference.

Both parameters are strings! Remember to use quotes even for IDs.You must call save() after setting all applicable values to actually create or update the ticket.

Ticket t;
t.setValue("title", "No audio");
t.setValue("category", "2");
t.setValue("status", "1");
t.setValue("priority", "2");
print(t.save().toString());

This snippet creates a new ticket and prints its ID.

To check the available options for category, status, and priority: Go to the SuerOffice Admin client and select Requests from the main menu. You can now inspect the options in each tab.
