🤖 GraphQL API improvements
The projects GraphQL API is now generally available 🎉. With this update, we are announcing:
1) The introduction of new ProjectV2 object and mutations.
2) The deprecation of ProjectNext object and mutations, scheduled for 1st October 2022.
What are the new changes?
We have added a new ProjectV2 object to our GraphQL API to programmatically access a project.
The fields of the project are now available as:
- ProjectV2Field for a text, number or date field.
- ProjectV2IterationField for an iteration field. The iteration details are available under the configuration object.
- ProjectV2SingleSelectField for a single select field. The details about the different options are available under the options object.
The items of the project are represented by the ProjectV2Item object. It contains a field type to identify the item type – Issue, Pull Request, Draft Issue or Redacted. The values of the item are available under the fieldValues field.
We are also adding the following mutations for updating a project:
- updateProjectV2
- addProjectV2ItemById
- updateProjectV2ItemFieldValue
- updateProjectV2ItemPosition
- addProjectV2DraftIssue
- updateProjectV2DraftIssue
Based on feedback that more granular scopes would be useful, we have introduced new OAuth scopes specifically for this update:
- The
read:projectscope provides query access toProjectV2objects. - The
projectscope provides query access toProjectV2objects and access to mutations.
✨ Bug fixes & improvements
Other changes include:
- Bug fix where @mentions didn't include all users when editing a comment.
- Ability to open the issues side-panel using the spacebar.
- Long project titles no longer truncate when there is room to display the full title.
- Bug fix to resolve a flash that occurs when creating or editing a project view title.
