I'm trying to create an Assignment Via the REST API, Does anyone have an example of how to do this?

So, I've figured out what I was doing wrong, when I was originally testing this out I just got an auth token through the API, and slapped that into postman, and copied and pasted JSON POST example from https://developer.m-files.com/APIs/REST-API/Creating-Objects/ to create a document and then when I altered the property definitions to suit an assignment i wanted to create, i was getting all sorts of random errors I couldn't figure out.

I later figured out, (through blind brute force) that the object id of the object you are trying to create needs to be put into the URL http://localhost/REST/objects/10.aspx for your request (10.aspx being for assignments). I thought this wasn't in the documentation but upon re-reading it is there.

So I guess the moral of the story is, read the documentation and understand it before wasting your time lol.

Sorry, I was not in last week so missed your message.

Most "things" in an M-Files vault are objects of some kind, and work similarly to documents.  Assignments, for example, have a different object type id (as you found out: 10), but they still have properties and things that you need to correctly populate.  Once populated, M-Files should behave as you expect.
