REST API to Create Folder in DAM is not working as documented

[jonasy18481676]

I'm communicating with Adobe Experience Manager, Version 6.5.6.0. I'm trying to create a folder using the HTTP REST API.

The documentation here:

https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-65/assets/extending/mac-api-assets.html?l...

Mentions:

• POST /api/assets/myFolder -H"Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"class":"assetFolder","properties":{"title":"My Folder"}}'
• POST /api/assets/* -F"name=myfolder" -F"title=My Folder"

However, when I create a folder like this:

Then I get a created answer, but it only uses the name I've provided, not the title. This is a screenshot of the created folder:

And this is a screenshot of the properties of that created folder.

Why doesn't it use the folder title I've configured in the POST request? Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @jonasy18481676 ,

Instead of title KEY in body, Please try with jcr:title. It works.

Postman

Hi @Kishore_Kumar_ ,

Thanks! That indeed works.

I usually try to avoid functionality if it is different to what is documented to be sure that the functionality will keep working in future versions. Do you know the reason that the documentation is not correct? Will it continue to work in future versions?
