}

Error: "TypeError: Cannot read property 'push' of undefined"

Answer 1

In order to modify your existing assets you need to use functions such as getAssetRegistry and then use the update method.

The Trade-Network sample in Composer Playground has a simple transaction to update an asset which is an easy reference.

The same network is used in the Developer Tutorial .

Answer 2

I faced the same issue. Turns out you probably can't push to a array which is empty/undefined.

I used the following fix for that (Modify it according to your program) :

 if (typeof roj.contributors == 'undefined') { // Check if the array is empty roj.contributors = new Array(); roj.contributors[0] = createROData.creator; } else { roj.contributors.push(createROData.creator); }
