Symptoms

Sometimes you might need to add or modify additional information of a domain.

Resolution

To modify the value of an existing additional field, you need first to find the field name. For this, do the following:

In billing provider's control panel, go to Services> Domains.
Find the domain for which you need to modify the field.
Open the Additional Information tab of the domain.
Remember the name of the field whose value you wish to update.

To update the value of a field do the following:

Download the change-domain-additional-info.py script and copy it to the /usr/local/pem/share/ directory to the CloudBlue Commerce management node.
Use the script to replace current value of an additional field. The script changes the value of a single field for a single domain at a time.

Important! The name of parameters (they represent additional fields of a domain) are case sensitive. Be careful with entering parameter's name, as if you misprint it's name, a new parameter will be added to the domain's additional information.

Here are the examples of the script usage:

By domain name:

python change-domain-additional-info.py --domain-name domain.tld --parameter-name Passport --parameter-value 12345

By internal domain identifier:

python change-domain-additional-info.py --domain-id 5 --parameter-name Passport --parameter-value 12345
