WorkFront API - "replyToAssignment"

I am trying to issue a note update on a task through the WorkFront API. I cannot figure out the right combo. Here's what I'm currently trying, but I've tried other (similar) combo's

request: (testing on the preview site)

Method: PUT
https://thecompany.preview.workfront.com/attask/api/v7.0/task?updates={"ID":"1234567","replyToAssignment": {"noteText": "testing note-updates", "commitDate": "2017-07-30"}}&sessionID=1234567

response:

{
    "error": {
        "class": "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException",
        "message": "APIModel V7_0 does not support field replyToAssignment (Task)"
    }
}

I know it's possible to do but I'm having difficulty figuring it out.

Solution

  • I'm not familiar with the keyword "replyToAssignment" but you can post a simple update to a work item as follows:

    POST https://<domain>.my.workfront.com/attask/api-internal/note?noteText=<comment>&noteObjCode=<ObjType you want to comment to>&objID=<ID of said object>&apiKey=<key>

    This will make an update (comment) on the designated work item. If you're looking to make a specific type of comment, this may not be appropriate, but I think it will do what you want.
