How to add Tags (Category_id) while creating customer (res.partner) in odoo?

Question

I am doing work on ODOO iOS application. I am creating Customer using res.partner model and with create method. Customer is creating successfully without any error, but the tags field that I have selected during creation is not getting generated.

I have used below code for creating customer:

NSArray *inputParameter = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[userDic objectForKey:@"database"],[userDic objectForKey:@"userId"],[userDic objectForKey:@"password"],@"res.partner",@"create",customerDictionary,nil];

    // Show progress hud on main thread
    [[OpenERPGlobal appDelegate] showProgressHUD:@"Please wait" withView:self.view];

    // Depending on Id's read records
    WebService *service = [[WebService alloc] init];
    [service fetchDataWIthURL:[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@/xmlrpc/object",[userDic objectForKey:@"hostUrl"]]] withMethodName:ExecuteFunctionName withParameter:inputParameter withResult:^(id result,NSError *error)
     {
         [[OpenERPGlobal appDelegate] hideProgressHUD];

         if([result isKindOfClass:[NSNumber class]])
         {
            [OpenERPGlobal showMessage:@"Customer created successfully." delegate:self tag:10 cancelButtonTitle:@"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
         }
     }

And the input parameter for above call is as below:

{
    "category_id" =     (
        17,
        10,
        9,
        13
    );
    city = California;
    email = "sample@gmail.com";
    fax = "";
    function = "";
    "is_company" = 0;
    mobile = "";
    name = "123 Sample Customer";
    phone = "";
    street = "Street address";
    website = "http://www.sample.com";
}

In above input parameter category_id is my key for tags.

Does anybody has faced this kind of issue?

Answer 1

In res_partner object category_id has many2many relationship. So you need to add using [6, 0, [ids]]

Try this values:

{
    "category_id" = [(6, 0, [17, 10, 9, 13])],
    city = California;
    email = "sample@gmail.com";
    fax = "";
    function = "";
    "is_company" = 0;
    mobile = "";
    name = "123 Sample Customer";
    phone = "";
    street = "Street address";
    website = "http://www.sample.com";
}
