Welcome to the FogBugz Knowledge Exchange

Question

1

I am attempting to import cases, and eventually case notes (bug events?), using the API. I have successfully created cases. The date opened defaults to the current date, even though the data I am passing includes:

'dtOpened' => string '2009-04-10T00:00:00Z'

I am the administrator and I am using my credentials when accessing FogBugz via the API.

You can't set dtOpened directly using the XML API, but if you set the dt field when you open a case, it will be picked up as the dtOpened. You can also set ixPersonEditedBy if you are importing bugs and wish to preserve the case opener.

	Thank you, James. The documentation is unclear in this area. Without your clarification I would not have been able to solve this issue. Thanks again. – Greg Schumacher Jun 14 2010 at 18:41
	@greg, I will update the documentation to make this clearer! :) – adambox♦ Jul 18 2010 at 15:08

See if this is helpful for you, it supports updating cases using Excel http://devshed.us/Products/FogBugzCaseImporter/Overview.aspx
