Problem with updating categories on a Posted Message

[girardtim]

Hello,

It looks like there is a problem with the GW SOAP API when trying to update categories on a Posted Message.

I am able to create a Posted Message with categories, but when I try to update a Posted Message, the categories I specify are ignored.

I am able to update other item types such as a Contact with categories and this works.

Here's a code snippet of what am I using, it is almost exactly the same way I update the Contact, but for some reason this doesn't work for Posted Messages

private static bool UpdateNote(GroupWiseConfig config, string id, NoteFilter filterReplace)
{

var noteDelete = new GroupWise.Mail();
var note = new GroupWise.Mail();

var req = new GroupWise.modifyItemRequest
{
updates = new GroupWise.ItemChanges
{
update = note,
delete = noteDelete
}
};

note.categories = GroupWiseHelper.GetCategoryRefList(config, filterReplace.Categories);

req.id = id;
var old = GetNoteByID(config, id);

noteDelete.categories = GetDeleteCategories(old.categories, note.categories);

var resp = config.Login().modifyItemRequest(req);
}


public static GroupWise.CategoryRefList GetCategoryRefList(GroupWiseConfig config, string categories)
{
var crl = new GroupWise.CategoryRefList
{
category = GetCategoryIDs(config, categories)
};

if (crl.category != null && crl.category.Length > 0)
{
crl.primary = crl.category[0];
}

return crl;
}


The method GetCategoryIDs() will create a category if it doesn't exist and return the id.

Am I doing something wrong or is there a bug in the GW SOAP API?

Thanks
