Overview

This node operation deletes a specific time entry from the OpenProject system. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove logged time entries, such as correcting mistakes, removing duplicate entries, or cleaning up outdated records.

For example, if a user accidentally logs time against the wrong task or project, this node can be used to delete that incorrect time entry by specifying its unique identifier.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the time entry to delete. Must be a number.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the deletion operation. Typically, this will confirm whether the time entry was successfully deleted. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally includes status information.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the OpenProject API.
  • The node configuration must include the base URL of the OpenProject instance.
  • The node uses standard HTTP headers for JSON content type and expects JSON responses.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Id: If the provided time entry ID does not exist or is invalid, the API may return an error indicating the resource was not found. Verify the ID before attempting deletion.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key and base URL are correctly configured.
  • Permission Issues: The authenticated user must have permission to delete time entries. Lack of permissions will result in authorization errors.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems with the OpenProject server will prevent the node from completing the request.
