Need help for custom API to link Option Set with Option

[AKC]

Version: Windchill 13.0

Use Case: I have created a custom API to create Option, Choices and option set by providing respective inputs. I have observed that, after creation, option has been persisted in Windchill with linked choices. Also newly created option set is associated with specific container. So far it is fine. However I am looking for custom API to link Option Set with Option. Can anyone help me on this ?

There is no supported API to do this https://www.ptc.com/en/support/article/CS451130 , 

you may use xml load see https://support.ptc.com/help/windchill/r13.1.1.0/en/index.html#page/Windchill_Help_Center/WCDataLoadGuide/WCDataLoad_OptionsLoaderDocInputLoadATOAddChoicesOptionSet.html#

Hello Fede,

Thank you very much for your reply. I understand that linking option with Option Set will not be supported.  I am trying to link choices with existing option set, however it is not getting linked. I am checking out the option set and linking the choice something like below...

OptionSetMemberLink memberLink = OptionSetMemberLink.newOptionSetMemberLink(workingOptionSetCopy, choice);
  PersistenceServerHelper.manager.insert(memberLink);

Any tips on this linking would really help me a lot.

Regards,

AKC

There's another example of this that's not supported in APIs but it's not related to Options and option sets. 

However, it may be a way forward.

Edit the Option or Option Set subtype and create an object reference alias?
