Create a computer with a contact?

Is it possible to create a computer with a contact person? This is my fields parameter:

$parametry_PC = @{
    'name' = $ComputerName
    'org_id' = 3 
    'location_id' = 1 
    'brand_id' = 29 
    'model_id' = 330 
    'osfamily_id' = 4 
    'osversion_id' = 328 
    'type' = 'laptop'
    'cpu' = 'Intel Core i5-11300H'
    'ram' = '8GB'
    'serialnumber' = 'numerseryjny'
    'asset_number' = 'AS-xxx'
    'move2production' = '2021-12-14'
    'purchase_date' = '2021-11-18'
    'end_of_warranty' = '2024-11-18'
    'contacts_list' = @{'contact_id'=344
                        'contact_name' = 'Doe'
                        }
}

Everything works except the contacts_list parameter. I get the following error:

iTop API returned an error: 100 - Error: contacts_list: A link set must be defined by an array of objects

Hi

I think something went wrong in the formatting?

Anyhow, I'm not sure if it would work or if I actually need to modify something; but I noticed you are specifying a single object for contacts_list instead of an array with one object in it.

Glad to see more people are using this module :)

                        'contact_name' = 'Doe'
                        })
}

When I change it to be an array with one object, the error message changes. It seems like it's trying to edit an existing contact? I only want to link an existing contact to a new PC.

Can you provide the error please?

Also you might want to check iTop's API: https://www.itophub.io/wiki/page?id=latest%3Aadvancedtopics%3Arest_json#operationcore_create

If it's an existing contact, you should be able to use just the ID of the contact and leave contact_name out of it.

Here's the error message:

iTop API returned an error: 100 - Error: contacts_list: contact_name: Attempting to set the value on the read-only attribute lnkContactToFunctionalCI::contact_name

That's actually an iTop API error. Does it work if you leave that part out and just use contact_id like you did?

Okay, that worked! It added the new computer with contact linked. 👍
