When storing data via the REST API, you can use a Store Dialog. With this dialog you can make sure data is being stored correctly via all the rules and selection lists etc. that are configured in the dialog. (to prohibit other values to be put in)
What however is a massive shortcoming is if you want to update index values. In this case you are not able to use a dialog. This means an API Update Index command can send incorrect data into the system, even though you have configured all kinds of business logic in DocuWare. This means you would have to configure and maintain this logic both internally as externally in another system.

It would be a very solid feature if we could use a parameter with this command and use an edit dialog when updating index values. This way we can make sure no incorrect data is being uploaded and business logic configured in DocuWare is being used and validated.
