I am working on sending some additional data for a workday using this endpoint Edit_Worker_Additional_Data. However, it lacks the documentation as what type of data they are expecting, hence, I am getting validation errors. I have tried various combinations but all in vain.
I took some guidance from this question but getting cus namespace
error as I don't know where and how he initialized that namespace. Data for the custom field that I want to send:
Custom List | T-Shirt Sizes |
Custom Field Type Name | T-Shirt Sizes |
Web Service Alias | tShirtSize |
List Value Name | Web Service Alias |
M - Xs | mXs |
M - S | Ms |
Given below is the XML request body that I am sending
<soapenv:Body>
<bsvc:Edit_Worker_Additional_Data_Request
xmlns:bsvc="urn:com.workday/bsvc" bsvc:version="v38.1">
<!-- Optional: -->
<bsvc:Business_Process_Parameters>
<!-- Optional: -->
<bsvc:Auto_Complete>true</bsvc:Auto_Complete>
<!-- Optional: -->
<bsvc:Run_Now>true</bsvc:Run_Now>
</bsvc:Business_Process_Parameters>
<bsvc:Worker_Custom_Object_Data>
<bsvc:Effective_Date>2022-11-18</bsvc:Effective_Date>
<bsvc:Worker_Reference bsvc:Descriptor="string">
<!-- Zero or more repetitions: -->
<bsvc:ID bsvc:type="Employee_ID">3671</bsvc:ID>
</bsvc:Worker_Reference>
<bsvc:Business_Object_Additional_Data>
<!-- You may enter ANY elements at this point -->
<bsvc:tShirtSizes>
<bsvc:tShirtSizesField>mXs</bsvc:tShirtSizesField>
</bsvc:tShirtSizes>
</bsvc:Business_Object_Additional_Data>
</bsvc:Worker_Custom_Object_Data>
</bsvc:Edit_Worker_Additional_Data_Request>
</soapenv:Body>
Following are the validation errors that I am getting with different combinations
- Invalid Subelement tShirtSizes-urn:com.workday/bsvc for element Effective_Dated_Web_Service_Additional_Data
- Invalid Subelement T-Shirt_Sizes-urn:com.workday/bsvc for element Effective_Dated_Web_Service_Additional_Data
Since it was a custom list, I had to send the request like this:
<bsvc:Edit_Worker_Additional_Data_Request>
<bsvc:Business_Process_Parameters>
<bsvc:Auto_Complete>true</bsvc:Auto_Complete>
<bsvc:Run_Now>true</bsvc:Run_Now>
</bsvc:Business_Process_Parameters>
<bsvc:Worker_Custom_Object_Data>
<bsvc:Effective_Date>2022-11-18</bsvc:Effective_Date>
<bsvc:Worker_Reference>
<bsvc:ID bsvc:type="Employee_ID">3671</bsvc:ID>
</bsvc:Worker_Reference>
<bsvc:Business_Object_Additional_Data>
<cus:tshirt>
<cus:size>
<cus:ID cus:type='ExtendedAlias'>#{get_size}</cus:ID>
</cus:size>
</cus:tshirt>
</bsvc:Business_Object_Additional_Data>
</bsvc:Worker_Custom_Object_Data>
</bsvc:Edit_Worker_Additional_Data_Request>
