Get a project state
Retrieve one project state by id. Use it when you hold a project's state_id and need the stage's name, color, or group.
Path Parameters
slug:requiredstringThe 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 id of the project state to retrieve.
Response shaping
fields:optionalstringComma-separated list of fields to return. 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, external_id, external_source, group, id, is_default, name, sequence, updated_at, updated_by_id.
See Sparse fields.
