Overview

The "Change Column Color" operation in the "Card Tables" resource allows users to update the color of a specific column within a card table. This is useful for visually organizing or categorizing columns by color, making it easier to identify and differentiate data at a glance. For example, you might use this node to highlight priority columns in red or completed task columns in green.

Properties

Name Meaning
Bucket Id The unique identifier of the bucket (container) where the card table column exists.
Column Id The unique identifier of the column whose color you want to change.
Color The new color to assign to the column. Options: White, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Aqua, Purple, Gray, Pink, Brown

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the color change operation. This typically includes confirmation details such as the updated column information or status of the request. There is no binary data output associated with this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service managing the card tables.
  • The node sends HTTP requests to the service's API endpoint configured with the appropriate base URL and headers.
  • No additional environment variables are explicitly required beyond the API authentication setup.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Bucket Id or Column Id: If the provided IDs do not exist or are incorrect, the API may return an error indicating that the resource was not found. Verify the IDs before running the node.
  • Unauthorized Access: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication errors. Ensure the API key or token is correctly configured.
  • Unsupported Color Value: Selecting a color outside the predefined options will likely cause the request to fail. Use only the listed color options.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the API. Check network settings and retry.
