I'm not a python expert and I encountered an issue working with an already existing API (redmine API but it's not really a problem with the API).
The API give me a method which enable me to get data from a database using a filter to get the type of data I need. For example, if i want a data with a value of "value" in the field which have the id = 20
object.issue.filter(cf_20 = value)
It works fine. However the id of the field I need to get can vary. So I have a variable
fieldID
which contains the id of the field I need to filter (20 in my example).
How can I give to object.issue.filter the good value (depending on the variable fieldID) ? Something like
object.issue.filter(cf_<fieldID> = value)
where would be replaced by the value of fieldID
You can create a dictionary {"cf_" + str(fieldID): value} of your intended filter arguments and then use ** to unpack them in the method call:
object.issue.filter(**{"cf_" + str(fieldID): value})
