unable to get typed reference item in create item in TC-extension

Hi Everyone,I am facing an issue while using Create Item in the Teamcenter Extension (Mendix).ScenarioI am trying to create an Item SemiconductorQualification and item revision SemiconductorQualificationrevision.There is a typed reference object: SiteQual (SFD0QualificationFor).This is a typed reference property configured in Teamcenter.However, this attribute/reference is not visible in the Create Item activity mapping.How to update typed referance in mendix while creating a item Observations:I am able to:Access this attribute in Search Workspace Objectand Access this attribute in Relate Workspace ObjectBut in Create Item, the SiteQual reference does not appear.My RequirementI need to:Create the Item using Create Item At the same time, set/input the SiteQual typed referenceLink it properly with the Workspace ObjectQuestions1. Are typed reference properties supported in the Create Item activity?2. Do we need to: First create the ItemThen use Relate Workspace Object to set the typed reference?3. What is the correct way to pass/input a typed reference while using Create Item in Mendix Teamcenter extension?If anyone has worked with typed references in Teamcenter extension, please guide me on the correct approach.Thanks

Typed reference properties are currently not supported directly in the Create Item activity of the Mendix Teamcenter Extension. This activity allows you to create the Item and Revision, but typed references such as SiteQual cannot be set during this step.


The recommended approach is to first create the Item and Revision using Create Item, and then use the Relate Workspace Object activity to set the typed reference and link it to the appropriate Workspace Object.


This is the standard and supported way to handle typed references in Mendix Teamcenter Extension.

hi,

Root Cause

In the Teamcenter Mendix Extension, the Create Item activity only supports:

  • Core item properties
  • Revision properties
  • Simple attributes (string, int, etc.)

It does NOT support typed reference properties during creation.

A typed reference (like SiteQual (SFD0QualificationFor)) is technically a relation, not a simple attribute.

That is why:

  • It appears in Search Workspace Object
  • It appears in Relate Workspace Object
  • But it does NOT appear in Create Item mapping

This is expected behavior.

Correct & Supported Approach (100% Working)

You must handle it in two steps:

Step 1 — Create the Item

Use Create Item activity

→ Create SemiconductorQualification

→ Create SemiconductorQualificationrevision

Do NOT try to set the typed reference here.

Step 2 — Set Typed Reference After Creation

Immediately after Create Item:

Use:


Relate Workspace Object

Configure:

  • Primary object = Newly created Item/Revision
  • Secondary object = SiteQual object
  • Relation type = SFD0QualificationFor

This is the correct and supported way to assign typed references.

Direct Answers to Your Questions

1.Are typed references supported in Create Item?

No. Not supported in the Create Item mapping.

2.Should we create first and then relate?

Yes. That is the correct pattern.

3.How to pass typed reference during Create Item?

You cannot pass it directly.

You must:

  • Create Item
  • Then call Relate Workspace Object

Best Practice Microflow Pattern


Create Item
→ Check success
→ Relate Workspace Object (set SiteQual reference)
→ Commit

This is how Siemens Teamcenter SOA works internally as well — relations are separate operations.

This is not a configuration issue.

It is a design limitation of the Create Item activity.

Typed references must always be handled using:

  • ✔ Relate Workspace Object
  • ✔ Or explicit relationship activities

HI,

Here we need create Semiconductor Qualification,

In our Teamcenter AWC to create Semiconductor qualification, Qualification for is Mandator field Where This qualification for is typed reference object: SiteQual (SFD0QualificationFor).

Can you please Help Us How to create this instance where we are not able to get the typed reference object: SiteQual (SFD0QualificationFor) in {CreateIteam} But we are able to get it in search workspace object

Attached screenshots for refrance of entites :

When We are trying to create it without {typed reference object: SiteQual (SFD0QualificationFor)}

We are getting this error Where FnD)maturity is a non mandator field and it is auto assigned through attached AP number :

ERROR:
