JS API - getAttributes content_type_nest_content

Hi Guys,

 

Trying to work with JS API replacing content in divs, primarily asset ids in content and nested content.

 

On a nested content div type, using getAttributes, it seems I can get every field apart from the selected nested asset - the most important field!

getAttributes =>

{
  "html": "",
  "name": "DIV Content",
  "paint_with": "raw",
  "additional_get": [
    {
      "name": "topic",
      "value": "commercial_fishing"
    }
  ],
  "dynamic_nest_get": ""
}

The same occurs on asset listings root nodes, it doesn't show in attributes: 

getAttributes =>

{
  "customised": [],
  "statuses": [
    "2",
    "4",
    "8",
    "16",
    "32",
    "64",
    "128",
    "256"
  ],
  "list_effective": "1",
  "submit_button_text": "Submit",
  "sort_by": [
    {
      "params": {
        "field": ""
      },

    }

  "parameter_map": "a:1:{s:9:\"root_node\";a:1:{i:0;a:3:{s:6:\"source\";s:5:\"ASSET\";s:9:\"attribute\";s:7:\"assetid\";s:7:\"keyword\";s:13:\"asset_assetid\";}}}",
  "asset_grouping": [],
  "all_root_nodes": "0",
  "asset_targets": [],
  "link_value_filter": "",
  "link_value_filter_enabled": "0",

  "link_value_filter_logic": "1",
  "dynamic_asset_selection_option": "static_root",
  "dynamic_root_option": "static_root",
  "short_name": "Demos"
}

Is there a reason that field was left out?

If anyone is interested, I've been able to get this working - so far - on asset listings by creating a notice link such as this:

js_api.createLink({

“parent_id”:<!-- id of asset listing -->,

“child_id”:<!-- id of root -->,

“link_type”:8,

“link_value”:“root”,

“sort_order”:1,

“is_dependant”:0,

“is_exclusive”:0,

“dataCallback”:function(data){console.log(JSON.stringify(data))}

})

 

It looks like creating links with appropriate link values will allow me to create a root node, or redirect etc.
 
I had tried this prior to writing the original topic but must have got something wrong.

Cool, I think that's also what the nested asset content container uses for the asset it's linking to? A link value rather than an attribute?
