Update a customer request

PATCH/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/customers/{customer_id}/requests/{pk}/

Customer requests record what a customer asked for and link each request to work items. Update a customer request. Send only the keys you want to change. Omitted keys keep their current value, and an explicit null clears a nullable field.

Path parameters

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs. In https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.

customer_id:requiredstring (uuid)

The customer the resource belongs to.

pk:requiredstring (uuid)

The customer request id.

Body parameters

description:optionalstring

Free-form description.

Nullable.

description_html:optionalstring

Rich-text body as HTML. The Plane editor reads and writes this field.

Nullable.

link:optionalstring

A URL for the request.

Nullable.

name:optionalstring

Display name.

Maximum 255 characters.

work_item_ids:optionalarray of string (uuid)

Ids of the work items to link to this request. The list replaces the current set. Ids you leave out are unlinked, and [] unlinks everything. Omit the key to leave the links as they are.

Plane skips ids of work items outside the workspace, archived work items, and work items you can't see, without an error. It keeps existing links to archived work items and to work items you can't see.

Response shaping

fields:optionalstring

Comma-separated list of fields to return. Fields you don't request are left out of the response instead of coming back as null. id is always included. Pass all to get every requestable field. An unknown field name returns 400. See Sparse fields.

Requestable here: archived_at, created_at, created_by_id, customer_id, description, description_html, id, link, name, updated_at, updated_by_id, work_item_ids.
