Issue while creating a Custom Button with expression via API

[paulrichter2001]

Hello,

I want to add a custom Button via the API of ManageIQ. After my API call, the button exists in ManageIQ, but the enablement and visibility expressions are not displayed.

The first select statement displays the button, when added/updated via the GUI and the secound select statement displays the button, when added/updated via API.

I think it looks like a similar error as in ManageIQ/manageiq-api#1053.
Is this a known error?

Best,
Paul

@Inkompetenz20 What version of ManageIQ is this? It looks like ManageIQ/manageiq-api#1053 was fixed and made its way to najdorf, so should be available when we release that.

@Fryguy we are using morphy-1.
The Issue ManageIQ/manageiq-api#1053 is for groups, but I have a similar problem with
custom buttons.

Look at "visibility_expression" for example.
In my first example (button added via GUI) the expression starts with "!ruby/object:MiqExpression",
while in my second example (added via API) "!ruby/object:MiqExpression" is missing, only the expression we put in is visible (and not working).

Ah yes, I see now.

Opened ManageIQ/manageiq-api#1166 to track this issue. @kbrock I assigned to you.
