I'm currently working on a game with UGC. I'd like there to be a download/plays statistic on the UGC item.
Currently the idea is to update display properties each time a person downloads/plays the UGC item (VIA an Azure Function the user calls). However this seems inefficient and I am unsure if this updates with the LastModifiedDate everytime somebody downloads/plays (I assume it does).
Just found out I can't actually do this, because I can't call UpdateDraftItem from an entity that isn't the draft item owner. Not even the title entity.
Title entities should be able to modify all items and draft items. What error are you seeing?
In fact, the server entity has the ability to call the API UpdateDraftItem to update the player's owner ugc item. Do you receive any error message when updating the item? However, we still do not recommend that you calculate the number of downloads via updating the item display properties, because if multiple players download one ugc item and modify the display properties at the same time, then updating the display properties will have conflict issues. Currently, since PlayFab does not support this feature, you may need to use an external database (like Redis) to implement this functionality. In addition, PlayFab also provide a rating system to evaluate the ugc item. For more info, you can refer to Adding ratings to your content - PlayFab | Microsoft Learn.
