List an initiative's labels

GET/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/initiatives/{pk}/labels/

Return the labels applied to one initiative as full label objects, paginated. The initiative's own label_ids gives you the ids. This list gives you the names and colors behind them in one call.

This list is not the label catalog. For the workspace's full set of initiative labels, applied or not, use List initiative labels.

An initiative you can't see returns 404. Seeing the initiative is enough to see its labels.

This is the read half of the route. To change the labels on the initiative, POST to the same path, as described in Add or remove initiative labels. The list takes no filters and no search.

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.

pk:requiredstring (uuid)

The initiative whose labels you want to list.

Ordering

Rows come back in a fixed order, newest first by each label's created_at, with id as the tiebreaker. This order ignores each label's sort_order. Sort by sort_order on your side to match the order the catalog uses. An order_by you send is ignored.

Pagination

per_page:optionalinteger

Page size. Defaults to 50, maximum 200.

offset:optionalinteger

Number of rows to skip from the start of the result set. Maximum 10000. Read the next value from the response rather than computing offsets yourself.

count:optionalboolean

Defaults to true. Set to false to skip the COUNT(*) behind total_count. The field is then omitted from the response.

Response shaping

fields:optionalstring

Comma-separated list of fields to return on each row. Unrequested keys are omitted from the response, not returned as null, so absent means "not requested" and null means "actually null". id always comes back whether or not you name it.

Pass all for every requestable field. An unknown name is a 400 that lists the valid set and suggests the closest match, so a typo can't silently cost you the saving.

Requestable here: color, created_at, created_by_id, description, id, name, sort_order, updated_at, updated_by_id.

See Sparse fields.
