I’m following this this and it’s more or less helpful…
I am trying to create a status column programmatically and it’s kind of a PITA, but I don’t mind. It seems like the full process is something like:
Create new column.
Create new item and set new a new label with a ‘create_labels_if_missing: true’ option.
Use ‘change_multiple_column_values’ to create the rest of the labels.
Delete the new item from step 2.
The problem with this is that I still have the existing labels that are created by default with the column. I haven’t found a way to delete them or just change them rather than creating new ones. If there’s no way to do this it’s a major problem and please consider this a feature request!
Great, looking forward to that. In the meantime can I change the index of the existing labels. or can I assign the index as I create them? The idea here would be to put the newly created labels at the top of choices. Thanks for all your help.
When you create a new Status label, it will follow the default index value and its index will not change. You can not change the index of existing labels or assign the index when you create them.
Thanks for saying so. The API is robust in many ways and adding this small feature will make it possible build a column exactly to spec which will be fantastic.
