Missing blocktime in listaddresstransactions

Question

Hi MultiChain Team,

I was trying MultiChain for the "sendwithmetadata" command. After sending the transactions, I then used "listaddresstransactions" to retrieve the transactions. For most of the transactions, I could get the "blocktime" field and parse the time. However, sometimes (usually the last transaction) the "blocktime" field was missing (but the "time" and "timereceived" fields were present). Could you kindly provide suggestions about how to make sure the "blocktime" field appears everytime?

Thank you very much!

Answer 1

If a transaction has not yet been confirmed in a block, because it is too new, then there will be no blocktime field. The blocktime is the timestamp taken from the header of the block in which the transaction is confirmed.

This makes sense and is what I was guessing. Thank you very much!
