Re: creating objects with web api, POST fails
Hi Lavi
Could you see if changing the payload to:
<metaData xmlns="http://dhis2.org/schema/dxf/2.0";>
<constants>
<constant name="PI">
<value>3.14159265359</value>
</constant>
</constants>
</metaData>
Works for you? you must use the endpoint /api/metaData instead
