Overview
The node integrates with Mantis Bug Tracker (MantisBT) to retrieve detailed information about a specific issue by its ID. This operation is useful for users who want to fetch the current state, description, summary, or other metadata of an issue tracked in MantisBT. Practical scenarios include automating issue tracking workflows, syncing issue data with other tools, or generating reports based on issue details.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Issue ID | The unique numeric identifier of the issue to retrieve. |
| Select Fields | A comma-separated list of specific fields to return for the issue (e.g., id,summary,description). Leave empty to retrieve all available fields. |
Output
The output JSON contains the requested issue's data as returned by the MantisBT API. It includes fields such as the issue's ID, summary, description, status, and any other selected fields specified in the "Select Fields" property. If no fields are specified, all available issue fields are returned.
The node does not explicitly handle binary data output for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to a Mantis Bug Tracker instance via its REST API.
- Needs an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The base URL of the MantisBT API must be set correctly in the node credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Issue Not Found: If the provided Issue ID does not exist, the node may return an error or empty response. Verify the Issue ID is correct.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure the API token credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access issue data.
- Invalid Field Selection: Specifying non-existent fields in "Select Fields" may cause errors or ignored parameters. Use valid field names as per MantisBT API documentation.
- Connection Issues: Confirm that the base URL is reachable and the MantisBT server is running.
