To assign a value to a property, all you have to do is indicate this value for the property. For example, to assign the name "Aerial view of Canareef Resort Maldives, Herathera Island, Addu Atoll" in the description property:

Type conversion

It is better to indicate the value in its own type. If the type does not conform, we will try to convert it when possible. Some conversions can give unexpected results, especially the conversion of strings to numbers (format problems).

In general, the values are as hybrid as possible. This means that the same value can be assigned, when possible, to properties of different types.

For example, we can assign an array of identifiers (used to assign the value of a multiple link property) to a single link property: the first identifier of the array will then be assigned.

Identifiers (type link to a resource)

Identifiers can be assigned (for properties of type link to another resource) either as a number or as a string. A unique identifier cannot be assigned directly to a property, and the assigned identifier must correspond to an existing resource.

We can also pass a JSON object, with a single id property (whose value will be that of the identifier to be assigned), or possibly, an additional $mode property (normally used only for multiple link type properties, see the hybrid aspect of values above).

The examples below characterize the same assignment:

Booleans (type link to activated)

To assign a value to a boolean property, you just have to indicate a boolean value. For example:

The value can also be passed as a string (case insensitive):

• “true” for true
  "on" is also accepted, to facilitate checkbox processing in an html form.

• “false” for false

It can also be assigned a number, either as a number or as a string:

• 1 (or “1”) for true

• 2 (or “2”) for false

Integers

To assign a value to a integer property, you just have to indicate a integer value. For example:

The value can be passed as a string, as an optional sign (- or +) followed with decimal digits.

Decimals

To assign a value to a integer property, you just have to indicate a integer value. For example:

The value can be passed also as a string.

Dates

To assign a value to a date property, you just have to indicate a long value, as UTC millisecond timestamp. For example, to set the date 22/02/2022:

The value can be passed as a string in one of the following formats:

• ISO_DATE (yyyyMMdd)

• ISO_DATE_JS (yyyy-MM-dd)

Date and times

To assign a value to a datetime property, you just have to indicate a long value, as UTC millisecond timestamp. For example, to set the date and time 22/02/2022 22H02:

The value can be passed as a string in one of the following formats:

• ISO_DATE_TIME (yyyyMMdd'T'HHmmss)

• ISO_DATE_TIME_JS (yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss)

Standard strings

To assign a value to a string property, you just have to indicate the string value. For example:

HTML

HTML properties are managed as string properties.

JSON

JSON properties are managed as strings. But it is possible to configure them so that we can directly pass JSON (an object or an array only). See details here.
