Setting up Group_Type via Group REST API Request

[ExoConsult]

There's a missing argument when creating or updating a group via REST API : Group_Type.

For the moment, it's not possible to set up Group_Type with a call to the REST API creation group endpoint.

Call_Create : POST {{host}}/wp-json/buddypress/v1/groups/
Call_Update : POST {{host}}/wp-json/buddypress/v1/groups/%d

Group defined with bp_groups_register_group_type.

In WordPress API, you can set up post format via the rest api by using the arg "format".

Thanks,
Didier

Hi,

Thanks for your feedback. I agree this is something we need to work on. As for now we're maintaining the BP REST API from a distinct repo, you'll be able to follow our progress on:

Support for creating and updatting groups and members with their types were added to the BP REST API: ​https://github.com/buddypress/BP-REST/issues/259

@imath How are you handling situations like those? Do you close the ticket here or wait for the release to be published first?

I think we can close this ticket now the issue is fixed in the GH plugin.
