Hello everyone,

i would like to attach a group to a group with operation ‘PARTIAL_MODIFY_DOCUMENT’ but this runs into an error. I using DocumentPart:

DocumentPart attachDocumentPart = new DocumentPart(attachPath, attachDocument, documentUtils.getRepetitions(attachPath));

documentService.update(
    new DocumentReference(attachDocumentReference),
    List.of(attachDocumentPart),
    Locale.GERMAN);

Exception:

com.mgmtp.a12.kernel.md.document.api.services.DocumentSerializationException: Following errors were found:
Group '/Group[1]/Group[1]/AttachGroup[1]' was wrongly instantiated as field.

In conclusion, how can I attach a group to a group in version 2023.06?

Found a Solution:

private List<DocumentPart> createDocumentPartsFromAttach(
            IDocumentService attachDocService,
            String attachPath,
            String status) {
        List<DocumentPart> documentParts = attachDocService.getDocument().getEntityInstances().stream()
                .filter(IFieldInstance.class::isInstance)
                .map(instance -> createDocumentPart(instance, attachPath))
                .collect(Collectors.toList());

        documentParts.add(new DocumentPart(
                ATTACH_STATUS_PFAD,
                status,
                documentUtils.getRepetitions(ATTACH_STATUS_PFAD)
        ));

        return documentParts;
}
