Account Name in Opportunity

[uzaironbitzer]

I'm trying to use Sugar API to insert records into Opportunities. All the fields get saved EXCEPT for account_name and campaign_name. I can add/change these fields using the SugarCRM web interface but not through API. Here's the json I'm sending to API:

method=set_entry&input_type=JSON&response_type=JSO N&rest_data={"session":"vta7ae9so0ee5genfg79o1een6 ","module":"Opportunities","name_value_list":[{"name":"name","value":"New Opp"},{"name":"account_name","value":"A\/Z Co Ltd 75003"},{"name":"currency_id","value":"-99"},{"name":"date_closed","value":"2012-02-03"},{"name":"amount","value":"2000"},{"name":"opp ortunity_type","value":"Existing Business"},{"name":"sales_stage","value":"Prospect ing"},{"name":"lead_source","value":"Cold Call"},{"name":"probability","value":"60"},{"name" :"campaign_name","value":""},{"name":"next_step"," value":""},{"name":"description","value":"some description"},{"name":"assigned_user_id","value":" 1"},{"name":"date_modified","value":""}]}

Account Name and Campaign Name are RELATE Fields, so you need to modify the related records as well.

I think I need some more detail. Does that mean I have to set something on Accounts module as well or just passing account_id value to Opportunities would do the work?

OK, I've worked it out. Thanks andopes for the hint. I just needed to pass account_id instead of account_name to get it working.

Now my other problem is that when I try to fetch opportunity data using get_entry_list and pass it account_id, it gets me blank fields, but when I try to fetch account_name, the correct values are returned. I want the related account_id for the Opportunity, what shall my get_entry_list call look like?
