How to quickly add properties in thingshape?

Hi @Snoopy_hu 

Do you mean adding property through service ?

Hi @Velkumar 

Thanks! I would like to add multiple attributes through a service, I tried the help you provided and found it, but unfortunately why doesn't thingshape have this service?

ThingShape is not in the same inheritance line as ThingTemplate and therefore the services are not visible to the end user.

Hi @Rocko 

I see. Thank you.

Hi @Snoopy_hu 

As @Rocko  mentioned it is not visible to the end user. But you can create custom service to do it

ThingShapes["SHAPE_NAME"].AddPropertyDefinition({
	indexed: undefined /* BOOLEAN {"defaultValue":false} */,
	defaultValue: undefined /* STRING */,
	remoteBindingAspects: undefined /* JSON */,
	description: undefined /* STRING {"defaultValue":""} */,
	readOnly: undefined /* BOOLEAN {"defaultValue":false} */,
	type: undefined /* BASETYPENAME */,
	remote: undefined /* BOOLEAN {"defaultValue":false} */,
	remotePropertyName: undefined /* STRING */,
	timeout: undefined /* INTEGER {"defaultValue":0} */,
	pushType: undefined /* STRING */,
	dataChangeThreshold: undefined /* NUMBER */,
	logged: undefined /* BOOLEAN {"defaultValue":false} */,
	name: undefined /* STRING */,
	pushThreshold: undefined /* NUMBER */,
	dataChangeType: undefined /* STRING */,
	category: undefined /* STRING */,
	persistent: undefined /* BOOLEAN {"defaultValue":false} */,
	dataShape: undefined /* DATASHAPENAME */
});
