Can't modify SharePoint alert properties using SharEPoint CSOM 2016 API
Updating an alert does not save the alert properties field. The title gets updated but anything in the properties field does not get updated. (e.g. https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/ScriptCenter/877d2abd-fce9-4545-b223-7637936dd888/)
Is this a bug or I'm not using the Properties field correctly.
User currentUser = context.Web.EnsureUser(options.UserName);
context.Load(currentUser);
Microsoft.SharePoint.Client.Alert alert = currentUser.Alerts.GetById(Guid.Parse("#ALERTGUID#"));
context.Load(alert,
list => list.Title,
list => list.ListID,
list => list.ItemID,
List => List.AlertType,
List => List.AlwaysNotify,
List => List.DeliveryChannels,
List => List.Status,
List => List.Filter,
List => List.AlertFrequency,
List => List.EventType,
List => List.Properties,
List => List.AllProperties
);
context.ExecuteQuery();
if (alert != null)
{
alert.Title = string.Format("Updated - {0}", DateTime.Now);
Console.WriteLine(alert.Properties["filterindex"]);
alert.Filter = string.Format(someoneElseChangeItemTemplate, "<Query><Neq><Value type=\"string\">#USERNAME#</Value><FieldRef Name=\"Editor/New\"/></Neq></Query>");
alert.Properties["filterindex"] = "1";
alert.Properties["eventtypeindex"] = "0";
alert.UpdateAlert();
context.Load(alert);
context.ExecuteQuery();
Console.WriteLine(alert.Properties["filterindex"]);
