Getting activity field from devops rest api

Question

We have some fields in DevOps, and I would like to get the field called activivty:

I use following call:

https://dev.azure.com/xxx/xxx/_apis/wit/workitemsbatch?api-version=5.1&$expand=Fields

I get most of the info on the work item, but not the activity value. Any pointers on how to get this value?

Answer 1

To get the Activity field value of the work item, you can check the filed: Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Activity in the Rest API response.

Since you are using the Rest API: Work Items - Get Work Items Batch, you can refer to the following sample:

Rest API:

Post https://dev.azure.com/orgname/_apis/wit/workitemsbatch?api-version=6.0

Request Body:

{
  "ids": [
    workitemids
  ],
  
  "fields": [
    "Microsoft.VSTS.Common.Activity"
   
  ]

}

Result:
