Hard time to get Custom Fields of specific Project

When I request this url :

f'{self.BASE_URL}/tasks/{task_id}?fields=["customFields"]&descendants=false'

it returns {'errorDescription': "Fields parameter value 'customFields' not allowed", 'error': 'invalid_parameter'}. I could not find a way to get custom fields of specific project or folder. Could someone help me please 😀

You don't need to specify in the fields array parameter to have the API returns the Custom Fields of a task, by default, it is already included in the response.

The fields parameter array only accepts the following, hence the error.

recurrent	Add field to indicate if task is recurrent
attachmentCount	Attachment count
responsiblePlaceholderIds	List of placeholder responsible IDs
effortAllocation	Effort Allocation
billingType	Billing type
finance	Task Finance fields
customItemTypeId	Work Item custom item type Id

Same problem Here.

The thing is that only a small set of CustomFields are returning from the request and when this parameter is set, the error message appears.

The documentation explicity lists this option, if it is not supported, then the documentation must be corrected .

Anyway, how can one retrieve the values of all customfields in a task?

Checking more deeply the question, the fields that are not appearing are the ones of the "formula" type and I could not find any means to retrieve'em.

Any light on that?

Thx!

Hello @Celso Junior & @ChoongSeng Chen I have an update to share on formula custom fields -
You'll now be able to fetch Formulas Custom Fields in APIs.

The GET/customfields & GET/customfields/{customfieldId},{customfieldId},... endpoints will now include Formula Custom Fields by default. These can be identified by the type value set to CalculatedNumeric
Formula Custom Fields will also be part of the response of GET tasks, folders apis.

Also, be sure to check our API changelog for the latest updates. Thank you
