API 2.0 : Milestones : POST : Unable to create a Portfolio-tier milestone and assign a theme at the same time

Issue Summary

Unable to create (POST) a Portfolio-tier milestone and assign a theme, at the same time, unless some program is informed in the request body.

• Per UI, once a Portfolio-tier milestone is created, all programs under the selected portfolio are automatically linked, therefore only linked themes are available for selection.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Make a POST call to the milestones endpoint, with the following parameters:
   

   {
     "tier": 4,
     "name": "Milestone Name",
     "description": "Milestone description",
     "ownerId": "<id>",
     "portfolioId": <id>,
     "themeId": <id>
   }

Expected Results

• The Portfolio-tier milestone is created and all linked programs to the assigned portfolio are automatically linked, as in UI

Actual Results

• An HTTP 400 Bad Request error is thrown

Workaround #1

• Gather all program IDs assigned to the corresponding portfolio
• Send programIds property in the request body, as in the example below:

  {
    "tier": 4,
    "name": "Milestone Name",
    "description": "Milestone Description",
    "ownerId": "<id>",
    "portfolioId": <id>,
    "themeId": <id>,
    "programIds": [
      <id>,
      <id>,
      <id>
    ]
  }

Workaround #2

1. Create the Portfolio-tier milestone with only basic (required) fields
2. Make a PATCH call to link themeId
