Generic object mutation

The generic changeObject() mutation can be used to execute most kinds of change actions in the Content Engine. It can be used to execute changes against types of objects for which there is not currently a specific mutation available or when change actions (pending actions in the CE Java API) must be combined in some custom manner.

The following example creates a custom role object:

mutation {
  changeObject(
    repositoryIdentifier:"OS1"
    properties:[
      {DisplayName:"My Custom Role"}
      {CustomString:"Test value"}
      {CustomInteger:93287}
    ]
    actions:[
      {
        type:CREATE
        subCreateAction:{
          classId:"CustomRole"
        }
      }
    ]
  )
  {
    className
    objectReference {
      repositoryIdentifier
      classIdentifier
      identifier
    }
   	properties(includes:["Id","DisplayName","CustomString","CustomInteger"]) {
      id
      label
      type
      cardinality
      value
    }
  }
}

The following example creates a custom CmTask object, connecting it to a Coordinator object (a Folder) and promoting it twice to the working state:

mutation {
  changeObject(
    repositoryIdentifier:"OS1"
    properties:[
      {CustomString:"A Task"}
      {CustomInteger:73216}
    ]
    objectProperties:[
      {
        identifier:"Coordinator"
        objectReferenceValue:{
          repositoryIdentifier:"OS1"
          classIdentifier:"Folder"
          identifier:"/Folder for Browsing/GraphQL Folder"
        }
      }
    ]
    actions:[
      {
        type:CREATE
        subCreateAction:{
          classId:"CustomTask"
        }
      }
      {
        type:CHANGE_STATE
        subChangeStateAction:{
          lifecycleAction:PROMOTE
        }
      }
      {
        type:CHANGE_STATE
        subChangeStateAction:{
          lifecycleAction:PROMOTE
        }
      }
    ]
  )
  {
    className
    objectReference {
      repositoryIdentifier
      classIdentifier
      identifier
    }
    properties( includes:["Id", "CustomString", "CustomInteger", "Coordinator"]) {
      id
      label
      type
      cardinality
      value
      ... on ObjectProperty {
        objectValue {
          className
          ... on Folder {
            id
            name
            pathName
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
