Standard Import - define document metadata (pixels, A4, landscape, non-stretch)

Hi,Is there a way to set the document settings using the standard import (or via rest API).I have my import working well but it defaults to American letter portrait and inches. I need to change that. Something along the lines of:{ "version": 1, "title": "Test", "documentSettings": { "units": "pixels", "paperSize": "A4", "format": "landscape", "autoTiling": false }, "pages": [...]} Thanks

X and Y Coordinates using Rest API

Hi Do we have a way to get the X and Y coordinate of LucidChart Elements? For now if we use OAuth 2.0 Rest API for getting the content of a document it seems that we don't have these X and Y coordinate. https://api.lucid.co/documents/:id/contents Best regards.

Extension APIs for blocks containers

Hello,I have a use case in LucidCharts where I need to identify if a block area is contained in another.In the documentation you can find this method getContainers() but it returns empty array for nested blocks. Those blocks seem to have valid bounding box values as well.Is there a correct way to use that API?

Json Response

Currently we are using LucidChart for drawing fencing diagrams. We had some questions about the Json response that we get for Get Document contents. There is some data that raised a question for us. Our overall fencing diagram through lucid allows us to drop and drag gates and overall measurements for these fences and those are pulled in through the api. Some of the gates are showing up as ERRORS! within the Json response. Also the Lines class within our json response seems to be connected to these ERROR!. We were wondering if you can provide some insight on this, I will provide an example snippet of a Json response for a better understanding.    Json:  {    "id": "f48e1227-c6df-4f9b-ad00-20a81c271d26",    "title": "SITE-000000015",    "product": "lucidchart",    "pages": [        {            "id": "0_0",            "title": "Page 1",            "index": 0,            "items": {                "shapes": [                    {                        "id": "igj.W1Apzw4F",

Document content: edges are missing labels

I have created a diagram using Decision shapes with Yes and No lines. I am using the Developer API to retrieve the document content using GET https://api.lucid.co/documents/:id/contents The shapes have Text labels which are included in the retrieved content.However, as far as I can tell, the line labels are missing in the retrieved content. I am unable to tell which lines correspond to Yes or No connections. Am I missing something here? Is there some other way to disambiguate the connecting lines?

Embed a document with Links

We have a react application and we are embedding lucid chart documents there. It works find until we click on other links. Imagine, I have a link within lucid chart to a different document. Once, I click on that link my expected behavior is to open that link within the iFrame but instead of that the link opens in the parent window. How can I control this behavior and open links within the iFrame ?

Comma in Text impacts the CONTAINED function in custom field

I’m using the REST API to export document contents to JSON.https://developer.lucid.co/rest-api/v1/#get-document-contentsIn my use case, I want to find the stick notes that belong to the container. For that purpose I’m using a custom field and the CONTAINED function.The JSON looks as follows: { "id": "vaXcl.RlvRIQ", "class": "SparkContainerBlock", "textAreas": [ { "label": "Text", "text": "People" } ], "customData": [ { "key": "Contained", "value": "[Not trained enough, Working overtime]" } ], "linkedData": []}If we change the sticky note text "Working overtime" to "Working overtime, exhausted and frustrated" then the JSON will look as follows. { "id": "vaXcl.RlvRIQ", "class": "SparkContainerBlock", "textAreas": [ { "label": "Text", "text": "People" } ], "customData": [ { "key": "Contained", "value": "[Not trained enough, Working overtime, exhausted and frustrated]" } ], "linkedData": []}As you can see the com

Using ElementProxy to get data fields for selected Jira card

Hello Lucid Devs and community.  I'm trying to get access to the data fields attached to a LucidSpark Card that was created using your Jira data connector/integration. I spoke with you all recently and you had suggested I leverage ElementProxy, but I’m having trouble getting it to work. Would greatly appreciate any help about where I’m going wrong. If you have any example code for this scenario that would be helpful as well. My 'extension.ts' file (stripped down to focus on just getting data fields):import { EditorClient, Menu, MenuType, Viewport, CardBlockProxy, DataProxy, ElementProxy, CollectionProxy,} from "lucid-extension-sdk";const client = new EditorClient();const menu = new Menu(client);const viewport = new Viewport(client);const data = new DataProxy(client);async function listDataFieldsForSelectedElement(elementId: string) { const elementProxy = new ElementProxy(elementId, client); let fieldsSet = new Set(); for (const referenceKey of elementProxy.referenceKeys.valu

Error when using 'patchItems' to update field value

Hello all! I’m posting this as a new topic, although I believe it is related to Using ElementProxy to get data fields for selected Jira card. When I try to update a field value using ‘patchItems’ on the CollectionProxy I am getting an error message saying it “could not find collection...” I set up a simple demonstration in the code below for your review, with a hard-coded update value in string format. I picked a field called “summary” which is just a string to hopefully rule out type compatibility issues. Thanks again for all of your help!Here’s my function getFieldValueFromElement, and you can see that all of the read the fields from the collection (and display the collection itself) up until I execute the patch command.export async function getFieldValueFromElement( client: EditorClient, elementId: string, fieldName: string) { // Obtain an ElementProxy for the given elementId const elementProxy = new ElementProxy(elementId, client); // Check if elementProxy is null or undefine

Document Sharing via API

Hello,  I had a couple of concerns regarding the creation of documents via the API. Currently we are creating documents into the default folder but are having issues with users viewing them. Currently only Admins have the ability to view them. Regarding this we are wondering if there is a way to share documents that are created to organizational group? Are there other ways we could share the documents to users as well?

Ability to manipulate dynamic tables?

Hello all! I had some general questions about your Dynamic Tables. Would appreciate any thoughts or to point me in the right direction. :)Is there a way through the Extension API or other means to access properties or methods for a Dynamic Table? Poking around I see that it is referred to as a “DynamicMatrixColumnBlockClassName” I think? Is there a way to read any properties such as column or row headings? Determine what cards are in a column/row/cell? (I know I’m pushing my luck here) Is there an ability to define Custom Column values and programmatically associate cards to the correct columns using custom logic? (Similar to the way the dynamic table auto shifts cards based on standard data fields assigned to Columns and Rows.)Thank you!Matt

Embedd Lucidchart viewer without scrolling feature

The embedded Lucid chart is displayed in a viewer where the user can scroll the chart even if the entire chart fits the window. It is very easy to accidentally scroll the chart out of view in the viewer. Is there a simple embedded viewer option where the chart is fixed in the viewer?

License Management API

Hi,Currently we’re using SCIM to manage our user access and grant/remove licenses - this is working fine from our user management side for onboard/offboarding but has some caveats such as not being able to poll the license information directly, which has the potential to put us over our license count.Are there any APIs available for querying specifically information about our licenses? Ideally an endpoint that we can use to retrieve what products we’re licensed for, how many licenses are issued and how many are available would be brilliant. Cheers,Taffin

Lucid Import Document API - HTML Line Breaks and bullets being ignored.

I’ve been experimenting with the Import document API using the standard lucid format, and it’s been great for the most part. One thing I’m running into though, is it seems like when I supply line breaks or bulleted lists via HTML, the breaks/bullets get ignored. I’ve tried even uploading the sample I found in Github, https://github.com/lucidsoftware/sample-lucid-rest-applications/blob/44f7c102b8dec5fd2495aaba17c6797aff668ca8/standard-import/demo-files/filesystem/unzipped-contents/document.json#L11 and I don’t think the line break for that is working either. Has anyone had success with this? Curious if it’s end user error on my end. I’m hoping to get to where we can have code produce our diagrams, and being able to create line breaks/bullets programmatically will be key for our diagrams.Here is some example JSON I’ve tried to upload.{    "version":1,    "pages":[      {        "id":"page1",        "title":"New Page",        "shapes":[          {"id":"block0","type":"stickyNote","customD

Newbie question doing my first API call - 403 response

Hello all - I’m trying to get my development environment set up to build some desktop utilities to modify LucidChart documents. I’m attempting my first API call to the documents endpoint and getting a 403 response. Any help would be greatly appreciated - and sorry for the long post.Here’s what I’ve done so far:Created my document in LucidChart, so I am the owner of it. Grabbed the document ID from the URL (hopefully that’s the right one?) In the Lucid Developer Portal, I created an application, created the OAuth 2.0 client, generated my client ID and Client secret, and registered the Lucid Test redirect URI using my client ID.  I am using VS Code and Python, and have leveraged some of your sample code from the documentation to get the authentication and token refreshing working, storing the access token locally for use until expired. Seems to be working great so far! Since I’m building against just the console right now, I temporarily have the script launch a web browser for the OAuth

Standard Import API error :Count: 2, message: error.expected.jsstring

Hi! I’m getting a “badRequest” response from the documents API indicating  "details": {        "error": "Count: 2, message: error.expected.jsstring",        "import_error_code": "invalid_file"    } My payload is a single page document with 61 shapes and 82 lines. I have looked at string fields (in my case: title, shapes.type, shapes.style.type, shapes.text, lines.stroke.style, linetype, lines.text.text).I was expecting to perhaps spot an unescaped character, or something, but can’t see anything wrong. Any idea what could be wrong? Am I hitting some sort of size limit?The JSON is dynamically created as part of a software I’m building, and works in every other scenario except for this specific one.Thank you for your help!Paul
