Hi
I am trying to export the customProperties using the REST API. (e.g. using https://x.x.x.x/api/current/assets/search). But I have a problem separating the names and values in the output, because the REST API outputs following strings.
Example:
"customPropertyKeys": "Type Serienummer Systemejer H-nummer", "customPropertyValues": "Server KD1N2PG Infrastruktur H01160",
The customproperties are well structures within Struxurware. E.g
Name1 : Value1
Name2 : Value2
But as you probably guess then there is a problem in using " " in the name og values. E.g.
Name 1 : Value1
Name2 : Value 2
This will result in following output from the REST API
"customPropertyKeys": "Name 1 Name2",
"customPropertyValues": "Value1 Value 2"
How on earth can you now separate these name/value pairs? If you separate on spaces, then you get it wrong.. 🙂
Name : Value1
1 : Value
Name2 : 2
Have I missed something? Or should we just not used spaces in the customproperties?

Not a direct asset search, but you can differentiate all the custom properties of an asset using GET /assets/{asset-id} with type specified as custom_properties.It requires 2 call:
- Get the asset id using get/assets/search
- Get the custom properties & values of that asset id using GET /assets/{asset-id} with type specified as custom_properties
Example in pictorial form, easier 😀
In DCO:
From RESTful api using GET/assets/ search
As you said, there is no way to tell which value, due to space.
Use this just to get the asset id only.
Using GET/assets/{asset-id} with type specified as custom_properties
Individual custom properties & its values are listed separately
