OpenProjectInstall

Overview

This custom n8n node interacts with the OpenProject API, specifically allowing users to view details of a single custom option by its identifier. It is useful in scenarios where workflows need to retrieve metadata or configuration options defined within an OpenProject instance, such as fetching specific custom field options for use in automation or reporting.

For example, a user might want to automatically fetch and process a particular custom option's details to update project settings or trigger conditional logic based on that option's attributes.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the requested custom option from OpenProject. This typically includes fields such as the option's id, name, and any other metadata provided by the OpenProject API for that custom option.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
• The node depends on the @devlikeapro/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node to build request properties.
• The base URL for the OpenProject instance must be configured in the node credentials.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid or missing Id: If the "Id" property is not provided or invalid, the node will fail to retrieve the custom option. Ensure the Id is a valid number corresponding to an existing custom option.
• Authentication errors: If the API key or base URL is incorrect or missing, the node will return authentication errors. Verify credentials are correctly set up.
• Network or API errors: Connectivity issues or API downtime may cause failures. Check network access and OpenProject service status.
• Unexpected response structure: If the OpenProject API changes, the node might not parse responses correctly. Updating the node or OpenAPI spec may be necessary.
