OpenProject

Interact with OpenProject via API

Actions199

Overview

This node interacts with the OpenProject API to perform operations related to projects. Specifically, the "Project Copy Form" operation under the "Projects" resource allows users to retrieve or work with a form for copying an existing project by specifying its ID. This can be useful in scenarios where you want to duplicate project settings or templates quickly without manually recreating them.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating the duplication of project configurations for similar new projects.
  • Pre-filling forms with existing project data to streamline project creation workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier (number) of the project to copy. This is required to specify which project’s copy form should be retrieved or used.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the project copy form details fetched from the OpenProject API. This typically includes fields and metadata necessary to create a copy of the specified project. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally contains project attributes and configuration options.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
  • The node expects the base URL of the OpenProject instance to be configured in the credentials.
  • Uses HTTP headers to accept and send JSON content (Accept: application/json, Content-Type: application/json).

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing project ID will cause the API call to fail.
    • Incorrect or missing API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity issues to the OpenProject server can cause request failures.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API keys or misconfigured credentials.
    • "Project not found" or similar errors suggest the provided project ID does not exist.
    • JSON parsing errors may occur if the API response format changes unexpectedly.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify the project ID exists and is correct.
    • Ensure API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
    • Check network access and the correctness of the OpenProject base URL.
