Review Request Draft Resource¶

Name	`draft`
URI	`/api/review-requests/{review_request_id}/draft/`
Description	An editable draft of a review request. This resource is used to actually modify a review request. Anything made in this draft can be published in order to become part of the public review request, or it can be discarded. Any POST or PUTs on this draft will cause the draft to be created automatically. An initial POST is not required. There is only ever a maximum of one draft per review request. In order to access this resource, the user must either own the review request, or it must have the `reviews.can_edit_reviewrequest` permission set.
HTTP Methods	DELETE - Deletes a draft of a review request. GET - Returns the current draft of a review request. PUT - Updates a draft of a review request.

HTTP DELETE¶

Deletes a draft of a review request.

This is equivalent to pressing Discard Draft in the review request’s page. It will simply erase all the contents of the draft.

Errors¶

HTTP GET¶

Returns the current draft of a review request.

Errors¶

HTTP PUT¶

Updates a draft of a review request.

This will update the draft with the newly provided data.

Most of the fields correspond to fields in the review request, but there is one special one, public. When public is set to 1, the draft will be published, moving the new content to the Review Request itself, making it public, and sending out a notification (such as an e-mail) if configured on the server. The current draft will then be deleted.

changedescription (optional)	String	The change description for this update.
