Overview
This node integrates with the OpenProject API to manage various resources such as projects, users, work packages, time entries, versions, types, statuses, priorities, and categories. Specifically for the Status resource with the Delete operation, it allows you to delete a status by its unique ID.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating project management workflows, cleaning up unused or obsolete statuses in OpenProject, or integrating status management into larger automation pipelines.
For example, you might use this node to automatically remove a status that is no longer relevant after a project phase ends, ensuring your OpenProject instance stays organized without manual intervention.
