Create ChangeRequest through OData API

[VC_8072250]

Hi,

I'd like to create a ChangeRequest Through Odata Rest API? 
PTC Change Management Domain operations support only Get operations in windchill 12 and 11?

Same problem. Anyone know if Creating ChangeRequests will be added or is available?

In WRS 2.2 there's no way to POST a CR but you can customise the existing endpoint, this would be very limited without further customisations in terms of the CR soft-type, process associations, affected objects and end items etc

In codebase\rest\ptc\domain\ChangeMgmt\entity edit the file ChangeRequests.json.
Add CREATE to operations like this "operations": "READ,UPDATE,CREATE" and the functionality will be exposed immediately.

Alternatively, you can use a 'Create-Objects' webject, which can be invoked using REST /InvokeIETask.

<ie:webject name="Create-Objects" type="ACT">
	<ie:param name="instance" data="<%=com.infoengine.au.NamingService.getVMName()%>" />
	<ie:param name="CONTAINER_REF" data="<%=containerRef%>"/>
	<ie:param name="FIELD" data="name='MC_initial_creation'"/>
	<ie:param name="GROUP_OUT" data="output"/>
	<ie:param name="TYPE" data="<%=CRSoftType%>"/>
</ie:webject>

Hello @VC_8072250 

I don't think so, I've found ChangeTask method to create an object. (WCH 12.0.2.0)

There is also method to create ChangeNotice with Tasks

/CreateChangeNoticeHierarchy (check the help)

I can not find the method to create ChangeRequest so I suppose it is not possible OOTB. Just create own method for rest api could be possible in my opinion.
