Column_type number, numbers or numeric?

When querying a board with the API for columns - returning the column_type - the type for a Number column is returned as “numeric”.

      {
        "id": "test5",
        "type": "numeric"
      }

However when creating a column with create_column the type should be “numbers”.

mutation {
create_column(board_id: 644168463, title: “test”, column_type: numbers) {
id
}
}

This inconsistency (combined with very limited documentation) drive me crazy. The good news: crazy people rules half of the world :slight_smile:

Hey @basdebruin ,

Totally hear you on this one - ran into it a few times myself actually.

If anyone else is running into this / agrees feel free to vote on top :slight_smile:

Update: we’re fixing this inconsistency in version 2023-10.

Check out this table for a list of all the columns, with their old and new names in the API: Column type reference for API version 2023-10 and 2023-07 · GitHub
