Get possible tags and status

Hi!

I’m quite new to developing with monday API and I run into the following case:
How is it possible, to read all status or tags, that can be set in a column?

Explanation: I want to to a mutation, which sets a specific status. Therefore I need to know the ID of the status. Is there any way to retrieve this information for all status at once?

As for tags: I got all global tags, that are available in my monday, but not all of them can be used in my column. How can I get only those, that can be used in my column? We don’t use board tags.

Best regards
Anke

Hello there @AnkeAS and welcome to the community!

I hope you like it here :muscle:

Regarding statuses, you can use something like this to get the labels and indexes:

{
  boards(ids: 1234567890) {
    columns(ids: "status") {
      settings_str
    }
  }
}

Regarding the tags, in which scenario are you not being able to use an existing tag in a board?

Looking forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,
Matias

Hi!

Thank you very much! I will try this :slight_smile:

These are some example tags, which I got with the following query
grafik
tags {
id
name
}

But I can’t user i.e. “Caravan12024” in my Board:
grafik

Therefore I would like to only get the tags, which are available to me.

But when I use tags in boards (I erased the id for the screenshot), I don’t get any:
grafik

Best regards,
Anke

Hello again @AnkeAS,

What happens if you try adding that tag to that board via a mutation, using the tag’s ID?

Hi!

First again thanks for the status-snippet: this works :slight_smile:

And I tried the mutation with the id for "Caravan12024’.
I don’t get an error message, but afterwards the entry is just empty:
grafik

Best regards
