It is useful in scenarios where detailed information about a particular work package is needed, such as project management, tracking tasks, or integrating work package data into other workflows. For example, a user can fetch the status, priority, assignee, and other details of a work package to monitor progress or update related systems.

Use Case Examples

1. Fetching a work package by its ID to display its details in a dashboard.
2. Retrieving a work package to check its current status before updating it.
