APIERR_BADID

The groupGuid of the parameter did not refer to a valid property group or one of the availabilities’ guid did not refer to a valid structural type category value.

APIERR_NOACCESSRIGHT

Do not have the right to create a property definition on a teamwork server.

APIERR_NAMEALREADYUSED

The name of the definition is already used in the given property group.

APIERR_BADPARS

Either the value of the definition is inconsistent, for example the default value has a different value type than the definition itself, or the definitionType of the parameter is not supported by the function.

APIERR_BADVALUE

One of enumerations did not have their value out of the allowed ones. This includes c++ enums (i.e. they were uninitialized or memsetted), and enumeration property values (the possibleEnumValues doesn’t contain the default value)

For other common API errors see the API Errors document.

 

Example

GSErrCode CreateExamplePropertyDefinition (API_Guid groupGuid, API_PropertyDefinition& definition)

    definition.name = "Property Definition";
    definition.description = "An example property definition.";
    definition.collectionType = API_PropertySingleCollectionType;
    definition.valueType = API_PropertyBooleanValueType;
    definition.definitionType = API_PropertyCustomDefinitionType;
