In latest update of Open Dental, it has broken functionality of Frequency as the screen is updated with introduction of something called "CodeGroup".
if the application has the functionality, why the API does not support it?

We have added the following to our development list:
1. CodeGroups GET.
2. Benefits GET/PUT/POST - add CodeGroupNum and TreatArea fields.
Thanks!

Re: Open Dental 23.2 Benefit API does not have CodeGroup
But why release something as "stable" version when you are still in development. Especially the API users who developed application using APIs to avoid direct insert/update/delete operations and then the latest version forces the users to do direct updates on database tables.
Re: Open Dental 23.2 Benefit API does not have CodeGroup
It is very rare for Open Dental to change an existing feature in such a way that the API would not continue to function. This instance is a rare exception and has not occurred for the last three years of development for Open Dental and the Open Dental API.
As justine stated, the two points above are part of the development list and will be added quickly to ensure that you can continue to add new frequency limitations through the API.
The term "Stable" is used for the Open Dental version and has been used prior to the existence of the Open Dental API. It signifies that the Open Dental program itself has been marked reasonably bug free and Open Dental support recommends to our customers that they update to that version for new features and improvements. It does not have any bearing on the API.vgajeradental wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2024 11:29 pmBut why release something as "stable" version when you are still in development.

Benefits were enhanced in version 23.2.62.vgajeradental wrote: ↑Sat Jan 20, 2024 5:52 amIn latest update of Open Dental, it has broken functionality of Frequency as the screen is updated with introduction of something called "CodeGroup".

-GET no longer requires a PlanNum or PatPlanNum.
-GET now returns CodeGroupNum value.
-POST now supports creating a benefit utilizing a CodeGroupNum.
-PUT now returns CodeGroupNum value.
23.2.62 is expected to release later this week.
Thanks!
