Update task with PUT request returns invalid_request / Parameter is not allowed
Hello,
I'm working with the API and am trying to update the assignees on a task. I'm using the PUT request, which works ok when I'm just updating a title, but as soon as I try to include responsibleIds I get the following,
{
"errorDescription": "Parameter 'responsibleIds' is not allowed",
"error": "invalid_request"
}
This is for a PUT request like,
{{WrikeAPI}}/tasks/IEAFZXYZKRD3OBCZ?title=Subtask_5&responsibleIds=["KUAQGSEW"]
I've tried quotes, no quotes, brackets, no brackets, URL encoding and no URL encoding but without success.
I can see anybody else who has asked a similar question has been updated with, "You're now talking to support..." in the forum and then no follow-up is posted. As the answer to their questions isn't held in the forum I'm having to ask the same thing again!
The problem was that responsibleIds is a field in the response. To set the assignees, I needed to be using addResponsibles.
Format is as above, i.e. &addResponsibles=["ABCDEF"]
I URL encode the value so it is actually passed as &addResponsibles=%5B%22ABCDEF%22%5D which also works fine.
Hi Ben Gladwyn, thank you for posting your question here. For questions related to API, our experts need to investigate the cases separately to confirm additional details and to make sure users receive an accurate reply.
For this reason, I've opened a ticket with our agents on your behalf and you will be contacted shortly.
