We’re excited to share some latest updates to the Autodesk Platform Services (APS) Cost API, bringing enhancements to contract workflows and custom attribute access control.
What’s New
MainContract Support in GET Associations
The associationType field now supports:
MainContract
This allows developers to retrieve associations linked directly to main contracts using existing GET actions endpoints, improving consistency across cost management workflows.
Extended Status Support for Main Contracts
The following statuses are now supported when updating main contracts via PATCH main-contracts/:id :
- draft
- pending
- approved
This enables more complete lifecycle management of main contracts directly through the API.
Collaborator Access for Custom Attributes
A new field has been added to GET properties responses:
collaboratorAccess
This field indicates the level of access granted to collaborators for a custom attribute.
Possible values:
no_accessviewedit
This provides better visibility into permission models and allows applications to reflect and enforce access control more accurately.
Summary
With these updates, developers can:
- Work more effectively with main contract associations
- Manage contract lifecycle states more comprehensively
- Gain clearer insight into collaborator permissions for custom attributes
