Hello Matt,

correct, this isn't supported at the moment, and you're right it should work in principle. I have recorded an internal development ticket (TBS-4783) for a future version.

Meanwhile, if that's an option, you could use JavaScript/ADS scripting for similar purposes, with a similar syntax. ADS includes a function graph.newURI(type) that will look at the URI construction rules.

leturi = graph.newURI(g.City);
let newCity = g.createCity({
    uri: uri,
    prefLabel: 'Hagen',
    altLabel: 'Das Tor zum Sauerland'
})

The advantage here over GraphQL is that you can actually DO something with the generated URIs because you can assign them to variables and use those variables in other places, e.g. to define further references:

someCountry.capital = newCity;

GraphQL would be a bit of a one-way-street where you can create instances but then would need to make additional queries to process the newly generated instances. In the case of auto-generated URIs you wouldn't even know what those generated URIs are.

Hello-

I've been working with the GraphQL API to programmatically create and modify resources. If I create a new resource and do not provide a URI, I expected that the generated identifier would be a URI created using the Asset Collection's configured URI Construction Rules in the Manage tab. However, it created a blank node instead. I couldn't find a way in the documentation to have it use the URI Construction Rules instead. Is that an option somewhere, or must the caller be responsible for generating a URI if a blank node is not desired?

Thanks!
