Overview

This node integrates with the Redmine API, a project management web application. Specifically, for the Issue - Delete operation, it allows users to delete an existing issue in Redmine by specifying its Issue ID. This is useful for automating issue lifecycle management, such as removing obsolete or invalid issues from a project.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically deleting issues that are marked as duplicates.
  • Cleaning up test or temporary issues created during automated workflows.
  • Removing issues based on external triggers or conditions evaluated in n8n workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Issue ID The unique identifier of the issue to delete. This must be provided as a string and is required for the delete operation.

Output

The output of this operation typically contains a JSON object indicating the result of the deletion request. Since the source code does not explicitly show the exact response structure, the output generally includes:

  • Confirmation of successful deletion (often an empty object or status message).
  • In case of failure, an error message describing why the deletion failed.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires connection to a Redmine instance via its REST API.
  • Needs an API key credential for authentication with Redmine.
  • The node expects the Redmine base URL and API key to be configured in the credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing Issue ID will cause the operation to fail.
    • Incorrect API key or insufficient permissions may lead to authorization errors.
    • Network connectivity problems can prevent communication with the Redmine server.

  • Error Messages:

    • Errors returned from the Redmine API will be passed through in the output JSON under an error field if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
    • Typical error messages might include "Issue not found" if the Issue ID does not exist, or "Unauthorized" if the API key lacks proper permissions.

  • Resolution Tips:

    • Verify the Issue ID is correct and exists in the Redmine project.
    • Ensure the API key has sufficient rights to delete issues.
    • Check network access to the Redmine server URL.
