Update Product Userfields

[horphi0815]

Hi,

i would like to understand, how to add values into the user defined fields during
grocy.add_generic(entity_type=EntityType.PRODUCTS
and
grocy.update_generic(entity_type=EntityType.PRODUCTS
BR

Hey, these methods use the "generic entity interactions" (https://en.demo.grocy.info/api#/Generic%20entity%20interactions) APIs internally and just pass the data object as json to the API.
So to add/update userfields you would just pass a data object with the userfields as a key-value repo like this:

data = {
	"userfields": {
		"myField1" : "myValue1"
	}
}
grocy.add_generic(entity_type=EntityType.PRODUCTS, data)

Great thank you very much. This was my assumption.

"SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 1 no such column: userfields"
Did you tried this already?
API does not accept it...?

try initialising your grocy instance with debug=True for debug logging, and check if the request looks correct. If thats the case please open an issue at grocy.

Hi @SebRut again,
i tried the update, but no error returns and no change has been made.
I the API Test it works
https://en.demo.grocy.info/api#/Generic%20entity%20interactions/put_userfields__entity___objectId_
{ "testfield": "2" }

But in PyGrocy not....
Can you help me please? I'm not so familiar to debug it.

grocy = Grocy("https://en.demo.grocy.info", "ZGNMF8fTS18BtifyHHpUBcOfcEWTqGoGOyL6WQRiFeGoX3rDe2", port=443,verify_ssl=True)

    try:
        grocy.update_generic(entity_type=EntityType.PRODUCTS, object_id=2, updated_data=
        {
            "userfields":
             {
                 "testfield": "2"
              }
         }
                             )
    except:
        print('error UPDATE')

Best regards,
Phil

Hi everyone, I'm curious what happened to this? It looks like it was even resolved in #200, but then was closed stagnant and never implemented.

I ask because I was trying to use userfields to track my chores by room through HomeAssistant and was unable to pull them. custom-components/grocy#217
