Is there any way Lock /Unlock tracker using API?

Hello @SJ_7748282 , you can use the following Swagger API endpoints:

• GET /v3/tracker/{trackerId}/configuration
• POST /v3/tracker/configuration

1. Obtain the tracker configuration object with GET /v3/tracker/{trackerId}/configuration
2. Copy the entire JSON object from the Response body to the clipboard.
3. Paste the entire JSON object as a Request body for the POST /v3/tracker/configuration endpoint.
4. Change the following property to its opposite boolean value:

"basicInformation": {
...
"locked": true/false,
...
},

       5. Execute the Swagger API request.

Step 3 is crucial: sending a JSON without specific properties is the equivalent of setting those properties to a null value, which wipes out parts of the tracker configuration. See Article - CS412988 - Codebeamer Swagger API POST /v3/tracker/configuration wipes out existing tracker configuration for detailed information.

HI @alfonso_c ,

Thank you for your reply and solution i am already using this but for some trackers i am getting response-

{

    "resourceUri": "/api/v3/tracker/26627/configuration",

    "message": "Unexpected tracker field access control value: 8"

}

 
any idea what it is about?

Hi @SJ_7748282 , I recommend having this analyzed as a possible Codebeamer unwanted behavior through a new Support ticket. In the ticket, please also include a template export from the affected tracker.

What I could find: I checked the code and this seems to refer to some type of "legacy" fields with "Same as" permission. 8 stands for the type of Access Control value. Using trial-error, you could also try to set the permissions of all fields having "Same as" to "Unrestricted" until the problem stops, so to know which field is the culprit:
