REST - change class of document

The issue is that under the bonnet this ends up calling M-Files API - SetProperty Method.  That COM API method has a note to say that you can't use it to change a class.

I don't know whether I've tried this, but I think the only possibility would be to do a PUT to M-Files Web Service: Object properties.  It means you need to provide all the properties, not just the class, though.

Thanks. Sounds logical, I'll tell you when we will have tried your solution.

it works

Is there a chance after a whole year that you could post an example of changing the Class of a document through API? 

Hello,

We also face this issue but we didn't manage to correctly use the "Set All Properties" collection as it's in the Postman collection provided through GitHub.

Is it possible that you give me a simple example of the body code needed for this to work?

Thanks in advance

The Postman collection should include the "Set all Properties" example:

It does but I get a "Malformed data" error using the below body code:

That's because there's a bug in the collection!  Thank you for highlighting it!

The endpoint should be this one: M-Files Web Service: Object properties (i.e. remove the /100 from the end of the path).

Note that you have to include all of the properties, not just name and class, otherwise the not-included properties will be dropped.

Great, it worked now!

Thanks!

I've just pushed an update to the Postman collection including this fix.  Thank you for letting me know!
