recalculate_assignment_fields

Recalculate field values and when conditions for an assignment action form, updating calculations based on user input, provided data, and page instructions. Validates assignment and action IDs to ensure accurate processing and returns updated field states.

Instructions

Recalculate calculated fields & whens for the current assignment action form. Executes field calculations and when conditions based on current form state and user input. Supports recalculating specific fields and when conditions, merging content updates, and applying page instructions during the calculation process. The API validates assignment and action IDs, processes calculation requests, and returns updated field values and states.

Input Schema

Name	Required	Description
`actionID`	Yes	Name of the assignment action - ID of the flow action rule. This corresponds to the Flow Action rule configured in the Pega application where field calculations are defined. Example: CompleteVerification, Approve, Reject.
`assignmentID`	Yes	Full handle of an assignment. Example: ASSIGN-WORKLIST MYORG-SERVICES-WORK S-293001!APPROVAL_FLOW. This uniquely identifies the specific assignment instance where field recalculation will be performed.
`calculations`	Yes	Required object containing fields and when conditions to recalculate. Must contain at least one of fields or whens arrays.
`content`	No	Optional map of scalar properties and embedded page properties to be merged into the case during the recalculation process. Field values provided here will be available for use in calculations. Only fields that are present in the assignment action's view can be effectively utilized in calculations.
`eTag`	Yes	Required eTag unique value representing the most recent save date time (pxSaveDateTime) of the case. This must be equal to the eTag header from the response of the most recent case update request, or from a get_assignment_action request for this assignment. Used for optimistic locking to prevent concurrent modification conflicts.
`pageInstructions`	No	Optional list of page-related operations to be performed on embedded pages, page lists, or page group properties before recalculation. These operations allow manipulation of complex data structures that may affect calculation results. Each instruction specifies the operation type and target page structure.
