How to set predefined-only while creating GroupHub

So, I am in an interesting scenario: I want to create a Group Hub --> Easy enough to create using the REST API Endpoints I want to have Forum + Calendar + TKB created within the Group Hub --> Same...

    I did a little bit of testing, and I was able to set this setting using API v1 on an individual Idea Exchange within the Group Hub:

     

    GET /restapi/vc/boards/id/xxx/settings/name/label.allowed_labels
* Returned "freeform-only"

POST /restapi/vc/boards/id/xxx/settings/name/label.allowed_labels/set
* value=predefined-only

GET /restapi/vc/boards/id/xxx/settings/name/label.allowed_labels
* Returned "predefined-only"

     

    After doing this, I did see the labels being enforced in the "New Idea" flow. I was not able to work with the group hub itself in API v1, and I did not get a chance to try API v2, but I assume that it would work in the same way.

    Let me know how that goes!

Hi Akash, the key for this setting should be label.allowed_labels — does this prefixed key work when using the API?

hey AndrewF ,

from what I can tell, this setting is not allowed for `Group Hubs` creation.

It's allowed when I create a Forum (or any other board for that matter), but not Group Hub specifically

      Thanks AndrewF this is a good workaround.

       

      I will use this and mark my Q as resolved.
