Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Steven Carmody <>]

Hi,

We have a number of AttributeDefName definitions that allow only a 
single value. We have a Grouper GUI that updates these values. Currently 
the GUI code does NOT check to see if its changing the value of one of 
these attributes -- it just tries to save an attribute value.

I'm trying to figure out what values to use for

attributeAssignOperation and attributeAssignValueOperation

in this situation. I'm currently using:

        'attributeAssignOperation' => 'assign_attr,',
        'attributeAssignValueOperation' => 'replace_values',

but I just got this error message, which I find a bit confusing:

[resultMessage] => java.lang.RuntimeException: Cant find 
AttributeAssignOperation from string: 'assign_attr,', expecting one of: 
assign_attr, add_attr, replace_attrs, remove_attr,

The documentation says that these parameters can have these values:

attributeAssignOperation - operation to perform for attribute on owners, 
from enum AttributeAssignOperation assign_attr, add_attr, remove_attr

attributeAssignValueOperation - operation to perform for attribute value 
on attribute assignments: assign_value, add_value, remove_value, 
replace_values

do I have to know whether I'm assigning or replacing ? How do I say 
"just set the value to [this value] whether or not there was a value 
there previously?"

thanks !
