How to set vendor for a component release

[Matthias-SE]

When I manually create a release for a component in sw360, I'm able to set a vendor. However, I failed to do so via api. Is it possible to set the vendor when creating or updating a release? What's the api call to do so?

Well, this project is only about the implementation of the existing REST API in Python.

I tried

curl 'https://sw360.org/resource/api/releases' -i 
-H 'Authorization: Bearer eyJhbGcxxxx'
-X POST 
-H 'Content-Type: application/hal+json'
-d '{ "componentId" : "eaba2f0416e000e8ca5b2ccb4400633e", "version" : "99.1", "vendor" : { "type" : "vendor", "url" : "http://no.data.from.source/", "shortName" : "A", "fullName" : "B" } }'

This is a successfull REST API call, the release has been created ... but the vendor is nevertheless missing.

I suggest to ask the SW360 maintainers.

Thank you for the hint. Here's a comment that describes how to do it: eclipse-sw360/sw360#3491 (comment)
