Add or remove release work items ​

POST/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/releases/{pk}/work-items/

Releases group shipped work and carry a changelog. Add work items to a workspace release and take them out in one request. Adding a work item links it to the release without moving or changing it. Removing it only removes the link.

The API runs remove first, then add, and answers with what changed:

  • removed lists the ids from remove that were on the release. The API ignores ids that weren't on it.
  • added lists every id from add that matched a work item in the workspace that you can see, including work items already on the release. Archived work items, work items in archived projects, drafts, and work items in intake triage count as matches too, although List a release's work items doesn't return them. The API skips other ids without an error.

Compare added with what you sent to find ids that were skipped. To read the work items afterward, use List a release's work items, or filter the workspace work items list with ?release_id=. For a project release, use Add or remove project release work items.
