Edit+ reports "not allowed" when trying to create data records

(Birdg) #1

Hi,

 

When I try and create a Data Record, Link or Folder via the Asset Creation Wizard in Edit+, I get the message: "Asset type requested to create is not allowed via API".

 

My user is a System Administrator. We are using Matrix 4.16.0. 

 

I can create Standard Pages fine.

 

Why is this error occurring and what can we do about it?

 

Many thanks,

 

Graham

In the JS API asset that you are using for the EES did you set an "Asset Types to Create"?

Hi Nic,

 

Thanks very much. No, I didn't even know that was there. :)

 

Works as expected now. It's a shame the Asset Creation wizard lists item types such as Folder, Link and Data Record when they are not allowed. Does make it confusing.

 

Thanks again,

 

Graham

Not sure if I confused you. I meant don't set anything for the "Asset Types to Create". Folder, Link and Data Record should all work correctly.

Hey Graham, you can also do a sanity check by making sure all is well against the online manuals install guide, there are a few sections in there but the one related to the JS API setup is located at http://manuals.matrix.squizsuite.net/ees/chapters/installation#The-Javascript-API
