Consumed REST (POST) doesnt store the response info in the object

0
Hi,   I have been trying to use a consumed rest service to connect to a certain API. I have created a POST request and configured it. When I test it, I get the expected response. So I created a response entity through the configurator. In the microflow I call the REST service and have the return value configured in the variable. But then the object seems empty.   I put the debugging / trace on the REST Consume and I can I sent a correct request and get a response. Does someone has a suggestion what to change?       In addition, the request and the response:   And the entity:   Kind regards, Randall

Hi Randall,

 

Thank you for sharing; it seems a Mendix bug to me, as you configured everything well.

You could try loading a Swagger contract in Mendix 10.21:

Otherwise, I would switch back to the "Call REST" activity and split the export mapping, call and import mapping in 3 separate activities in your microflow to apply proper debugging.

Good luck!

Hi Randall,

First, store the response in the Import Mapping. After that, the response will be available as an Import Mapping NPE object. You can then store this NPE response in a persistable entity.

Hi, I was wondering if there is a solution to this problem already, because I have the same problem.
The return value of the Send REST request-action is not mapped correctly as it seems and stays empty.
The $latestHttpResponse however does show the correct response with the correct data, so it can be fixed with an seperate import mapping. However this is a workaround and defeats the purpose of using a Consumed Rest Service in the first place.
