I have a requirement where I have to copy list items from one list to another using REST. The requirement is that the data copied from list 'A' should be 90 days older than today. So I have written it on the click function of a button. I am able to fetch the data but while creating the items in list 'B', it goes into the error function of the create function I get the error on logging it as:
Bad Request : {"error":{"code":"-2130575257, Microsoft.SharePoint.SPException","message":{"lang":"en-US","value":"A list item with ID {0} already exists."}}} though the item is not present in list 'B'.
Note: to get items I've made REST calls in batches of 5000 and pushed it into one item array, as the limit of REST
calls is 5000. There is no problem in getting items, just creating new items.
The code is given below:
var TrainingReqList = "training_requests";
var ArchiveList = "Archived_training_requests";
var TrainingReqArchiveListData = [];
function onClickArchival() {
var copyItem = {}; //array in which data fetched will be copied and this will be passed into create item function
var toCopyCount = 0;
getTRdata(); //funtion to get data in batches of 5000
for (i = 0; i < TrainingReqArchiveListData.length; i++) { //when all data is pushed into the array, conditions are invoked
var archivedate = new Date(new Date().setDate(new Date().getDate() + (-90)));
var createddate = new Date(TrainingReqArchiveListData[i]['Created']);
if (createddate <= archivedate) {
if (TrainingReqArchiveListData[i]['Status'].toString() != "New Request" && TrainingReqArchiveListData[i]['Status'].toString() != "Pending Agent Confirmation" && TrainingReqArchiveListData[i]['Status'].toString() != "Training Date Confirmed") {
var created = TrainingReqArchiveListData[i]['Created'];
var modified = TrainingReqArchiveListData[i]['Modified'];
var createduserId = TrainingReqArchiveListData[i]['AuthorId'];
var modifiedUserId = TrainingReqArchiveListData[i]['EditorId'];
toCopyCount++;
for (var propertyName in TrainingReqArchiveListData[i]) {
if (TrainingReqArchiveListData[i].hasOwnProperty(propertyName)) { //for copying the properties of list where data is fetched from
if (TrainingReqArchiveListData[i][propertyName] != null && TrainingReqArchiveListData[i][propertyName].hasOwnProperty('__deferred')) //exclude deffered objects
{
continue;
}
if (propertyName == 'GUID' || propertyName == 'ID' || propertyName == 'Id') {
continue;
}
if (propertyName == '__metadata') {
var targetItemType = "";
copyItem['__metadata'] = { 'type': "SP.Data.Archived_x005f_training_x005f_requestsListItem" };
