Using ItemProperties class and Item object update() method fails to update the properties.

[Clubdebambos]

The ItemProperties class introduced as of API version 2.3.0 does not seem to work when updating an Item object, or perhaps I am missing something? Any help greatly appreciated.

The documentation for the ItemProperties states that the title and item_type parameters are required, why would you need these if you are updating and item? I can understand if using an add() method.

Anyway, I have failed in attempts to use the ItemProperties to update and Item.

    """set the tags property for the item properties"""
    item_properties = ItemProperties(
        title = item.title,
        item_type = item.type,
        tags = tags
    )

    """perform the update on the item object"""
    status = item.update(
        item_properties = item_properties
    )

    print(status)

I also attempted to add the parameter overwrite = True to no affect. I get the following error.

TypeError: argument of type 'ItemProperties' is not iterable

Has anyone successfully used the ItemProperties with an update() or is this an actual bug?

Cheers,

Glen

Hello!

Did you ever find a solution for this?

I wonder if you are creating the wrong object for the update() method on the item object?

If you look at the documentation for the Item.update() method:

arcgis.gis module | ArcGIS API for Python

...you will notice that the item_properties argument requires a Python dictionary and not an ItemProperties object which you are creating.

The key : value descriptions for the item_properties dictionary are underneath parameter list for the method.

I hope this helps!?

many thanks ed
