Hi

I'm using the REST API to create a dimension hierarchy.

I'm using below syntax to connect an element to a consolidated node, which works as expected.

Body: {"Element":{"Name": "New Element", "UniqueName":"[plan_business_unit].[New Element]"}}
POST: Dimensions('plan_business_unit')/Hierarchies('plan_business_unit')/Elements('Consolidation1')/tm1.SetComponent

My issue is if I want to add the same element to a second consolidated node, i.e.:

Body: {"Element":{"Name": "New Element", "UniqueName":"[plan_business_unit].[New Element]"}}
POST: Dimensions('plan_business_unit')/Hierarchies('plan_business_unit')/Elements('Consolidation2')/tm1.SetComponent

I'm getting this error message:


How can I connect an element to more than one node?

Found the answer:

Body: {"Element@odata.bind": "Dimensions('plan_business_unit')/Hierarchies('plan_business_unit')/Elements('New Element')}​​
POST: Dimensions('plan_business_unit')/Hierarchies('plan_business_unit')/Elements('Consolidation2')/tm1.SetComponent
