Hi Team,

I see that we have a new response property in board i.e. type which is of type BoardObjectType' and has values like board, sub_items_board or document`.

We have a usecase where we need boards which are of type boards only.
Is it possible to have this type property as an argument field? So when I give type as board it will list down only board type boards.

Hello there @Yash!

As of today the type can not be used as an argument for boards.

Having said that, I will add this as a feature request :slightly_smiling_face:

Cheers,
Matias

Hello @Yash!

This has not been deployed at the moment. You can use the “type” field in your query to check if you are dealing with a board, but it can not be used as an argument.

Thank you @kolaai for the new link!

Cheers,

I didn’t still see “type” field supported as argument in doc. Do we have any latest update?

Any reason why it’s still not considered? Seems like a valid request though, makes the query powerful.

Hello there @mari-strivelabs,

How would you like to use such a field in your query? Would you be able to write an example of what you would like for the query to look like?

Looking forward to hearing from you :smile:

Cheers,
Matias

Sure.

I was expecting “type” field support as an argument. Something like,

query {
          boards (workspace_ids: ${context.spaceId}, type: ['board', 'sub_items_board']) {
            id
            name
            board_kind
            board_folder_id
            type
            state
            url
          }
        }

(or) even support to query for single type would also help I guess

query {
          boards (workspace_ids: ${context.spaceId}, type: 'board') {
            id
            name
            board_kind
            board_folder_id
            type
            state
            url
          }
        }

This should ideally query boards for the workspace with type board (I don’t need other types like document for eg). Hope this helps!
