Assign a Value from a Data View

The API call remains the same. The body varies only in the ‘entity’ section. In the straight text assignment above, the ‘value’ section contains only the string to be assigned. Here, in the ‘value’ section, we include three additional items from the data view to be used as the data source: the data view name, it’s version, and the name of the attribute from the data view to be used.

{
    "context": {
        "user": "usef_id",
        "password": "xxxx",
        "project": {
            "name": "imp_payments_demo",
            "version": "1.0"
        },
        "workSet": {
            "name": "api_2_workset",
            "version": "1.1"
        }
    },
    "entity": {
        "step": {
            "name": "imp_validate_outcomes",
            "version": "1.0"
        },
        "attribute": "test_string",
        "operands": [
            {
                "operator": "ASSIGN",
                "value": {
                    "name": "cust_data_view",
                    "version": "1.0",
                    "attribute": "customer_type"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
}
