OpenProjectInstall

Overview

This node updates an existing activity in the OpenProject system by modifying its details based on provided input. It is useful when you need to programmatically change information related to a specific activity, such as adding or updating comments or other metadata associated with that activity.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically appending notes or comments to an activity after a certain event occurs.
• Correcting or enhancing activity details without manual intervention.
• Integrating activity updates into broader workflows for project management automation.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the updated activity object returned from the OpenProject API. This typically includes the activity's current state after the update, such as its id, updated comment, timestamps, and any other relevant fields defined by the API.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
• Needs the base URL of the OpenProject instance configured in the credentials.
• Depends on the OpenProject REST API being accessible and operational.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Activity Id: If the provided activity id does not exist, the API will likely return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the id before running the node.
• Malformed Comment JSON: Since the comment property expects valid JSON, ensure the input is correctly formatted. Parsing errors will cause the request to fail.
• Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will prevent successful communication with the OpenProject API.
• Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the OpenProject server will result in request failures.
