Feature Request - Allow for Configuration of LineTextLabel and CallDeclineAll for Primary Line about wxcadm HOT 5 CLOSED

This is fixed in 4.2.6

@MikeRalston98 The Person.add_device() method can't be used to add a Person to an existing Device, so what you might be looking for is the Device.members.add() method, which does have those fields available. I do have an enhancement planned for the next release that allows you to modify existing DeviceMember entries to change those values, so, if you are creating a new device with Person.add_device(), you would be able to use the returned Device instance to modify the members.

What I will probably do is add a method in the DeviceMemberList to allow you to find the member by the Person, making that easier. What I envision is something like the following:

new_device = person.add_device(model=model, mac=mac)
member = new_device.members.get(person=person)
member.set_line_label('New Line Label')
member.set_allow_call_decline_enabled=False

or maybe a shorter method that allows both in one call. Does that make sense and would it fit your needs? That method aligns better to the Webex logic where the Person/Workspace is a "member" of the device rather than being an "owner" of the Device.

I realized that your first paragraph already mentioned what I pointed out. Regardless, I think the way I'll have to do it is to just allow you to set it at the DeviceMember level. Plus that will give more flexibility for any future changes.

@kctrey Yes, that would be exactly what I'm looking for. Building out a script for migrations from Call Manager and after I assign the user licenses, I add the device with person.add_device. Often during the migrations, they'll want the line label set to what they had before and also want the ability to have calls decline only on that device since they'll have shared lines and whatnot.

The methods you posted in your reply would be perfect. I personally don't see a need for an all-in-one type call for those types of settings. Appreciate the quick response.

@MikeRalston98 I had to change direction a little, because I forgot what I return from the Person.add_device(). Because I return a dict, you'll have to do the following (or similar):

device_details = person.add_device(model=model, mac=macaddress)
device = device_details['device_object']
member = device.members.get(person=person)
member.set_line_label('New Label')
member.set_call_decline_all(True)  # or False if that's what you want

The changes are in the dev branch now. All you'd have to do is replace device.py with the device.py from the dev branch to test. I have been testing and it seems to work well, but would be happy to have another tester.
