Question

API PUT formFields call - automatically sets agreement status to "OUT_FOR_DELIVERY"

  • November 28, 2023

I POST to api/rest/v6/agreements to create my agreement (with state: AUTHORING)
A GET from api/rest/v6/agreements shows all is well.

Then i get the participant set IDs and use this information to PUT my formFields api/rest/v6/agreements/{agreementId}/formFields.
However this last step changes the agreement status to OUT_FOR_SIGNATURE
( I was hoping i could set the status to IN_PROCESS using api/rest/v6/agreements/{agreementId}/state ... but this API call fails with a 403 status OPERATION_NOT_ALLOWED )
Is there an account setting that causes this unexpected behaviour? i don't use workflows.
Many thanks!

Late reply but I've just been going through similar pain, so posting here so it's available to anyone else who lands here.

It seems that settings the form fields triggers the sending of the agreement. I personally regard this as bad practice, especially since it's not documented! This appears to be the only way it works - I've not seen any settings that change it. I suggest you make the FormFields call the last as it also sends.
