Unable to Update Company Configuration Question Value using Update-CWMCompanyConfigurationTypeQuestionValue

[kgarbet]

When attempting to use the Update-CWMCompanyConfigurationTypeQuestionValue function from the ConnectWiseManageAPI PowerShell module, I encountered a 404 Not Found error. The purpose was to update the answer for a specific question associated with a company configuration.

If I run the below command I get the following information:
Get-CWMCompanyConfiguration -id 28994

id: 28994
Configuration Name: FF-LGYS4-AP01

question: {@{answerId=211535; questionId=1540; question=Physical Location; answer=Test; sequenceNumber=1.00; numberOfDecimals=0; fieldType=Text; requiredFlag=False}

When I run:
$UpdateParam = @{ grandparentId = 28994 parentId = 1540 id = 211535 Operation = 'replace' Path = 'answer' Value = 'Test2' } Update-CWMCompanyConfigurationTypeQuestionValue @UpdateParam

I get the following error:

Invoke-CWMWebRequest : An exception has been thrown. --> The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found. An error has been thrown. --> { "code": "NotFound", "message": "Configuration Type Question Value 211535 not found" }

Any guidance on how to resolve this issue or insights about the correct usage would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Kgabert.

I can confirm, I had similar problems trying to get this to work and ended up having to extract all the questions and pass them all to the Update-CWMCompanyConfiguration and New-CWMCompanyConfiguration endpoints instead.

I got as far determining that :

• GrandparentID is the TypeID
• ParentID is the QuestionID

I do not know what the ID should be, I have tried the configuration ID - at the moment there's nothing in the request which specifies which record to update but this doesn't work. I also tried to sue the answer ID, which is also the same for every configuration so is unlikely to be correct.

In conclusion, I don't think the Update-CWMCompanyConfigurationTypeQuestionValue endpoint actually does what we think it should do! The Documentation provides no insight into what the ID's are actually referring to. When I try to get requests for configuration type values, It doesn't return the answer values and when I add the /values to the end of the URL it always says the values are empty - even when I have confirmed a question and answer should exist.

This is an example of how I have been updating questions and answers systematically for our Microsoft 365 Configuration items:

`
#Create object containing all question and answers
$365ConfigDetails = @(
@{
QuestionID = "431" #OnMickyDom
Answer = $Client.OnMicrosoft
},
@{
QuestionID = "437" #TenantID
Answer = $Client.TenantID
},
@{
QuestionID = "439" #365Adminportal
Answer = $Client.'365Adminportal'
},
@{
QuestionID = "440" #365ExchangePortal
Answer = $Client.'365ExchangePortal'
},
@{
QuestionID = "441" #AzurePortal
Answer = $Client.AzurePortal
},
@{
QuestionID = "442" #IntunePortal
Answer = $Client.IntunePortal
},
@{
QuestionID = "443" #Security 365
Answer = "https://security.microsoft.com/?tid=$($Client.TenantID)"
}
)

#Pass object to update configuration endpoint.
Update-CWMCompanyConfiguration -id $ExistingConfiguration.id -Operation replace -Path questions -value $365ConfigDetails
`

Hopefully this approach will allow you to do what you need to do and perhaps somebody ekse will have some further insight into what the Update-CWMCompanyConfigurationTypeQuestionValue command actually does!
