Control document Workflow state through API Rest

[vergelli]

I wonder if there is an option that lets me take control of the document Workflow through the API rest.

In the case of base Redmine, there isn't such an option so I know at least one plugin that allows you to do it. But I don't know if it would be compatible with DMSf.

No, there is no such option. The plugin is not compatible with DMSF.

I was thinking of a feature that would allow me to do this.

If I look at a regular GET request of a document I usually get something like this:

{'dmsf_file': {'id': 100,
  'title': 'Title.pdf',
  'name': 'Title.pdf',
  'project_id': 49,
  'content_url': 'url:port/dmsf/files/100/download',
  'dmsf_file_revisions': [{'id': 106,
    'source_dmsf_file_revision_id': 105,
    'name': 'Title.pdf',
    'dmsf_string': '{{dmsf(100,Title.pdf,106)}}',
    'content_url': 'url:port/dmsf/files/100/view?download=106',
    'size': 604894,
    'mime_type': None,
    'title': 'Title.pdf',
    'description': 'REST API asdasd',
    'workflow': None,
    .
    .
    .
}

I can see there is a Workflow field under the Description field.

It would be good to have a feature that allows me to set a value there and impact on Redmine, for example:

This is a file upload commit JSON, and at the end, is the workflow field with a value assigned.

body = {
  "attachments": {
    "folder_id": "21",
    "uploaded_file": {
      "name": "No_name.pdf",
      "title": "Notitle.pdf",
      "description": "No_description",
      "comment": "No_description",
      "version": "3",
      "token": token,
      "workflow": 3

    }
  }
}

And this is a document revision json:

body = {
  "dmsf_file_revision": {
    "title": "title",
    "name": "name",
    "description": "description",
    "comment": "comment",
    'workflow': 2
  }
}

Do you think this could be possible to have?

It is not so simple. An approval workflow loop consists of assignment, start and approvals. All of these steps are related to a file's revision. For each we would have to implement an independent REST API call (to enable existing methods for REST API).
