List properties on a workspace type ​

GET/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/work-item-types/{type_id}/properties/

Return the custom properties attached to one workspace-level work item type, as a paginated list. Reach for it when you are building a form for that type, or checking what a type already carries before attaching more.

Reads are unaffected by the workspace's work item type mode — this route answers even when the workspace manages types at the project level.

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.

type_id:requiredstring (uuid)

The workspace work item type whose properties you want. Get it from List workspace work item types.

Query Parameters ​

This list takes no filters or search term — a type's property set is small and returned whole. Check your spelling on order_by and paginate: neither is validated, so an unrecognized order_by silently falls back to the default ordering and anything other than paginate=cursor silently uses offset pagination.

Ordering ​

order_by:optionalstring

Field to sort by. Prefix with - for descending.

  • sort_order , -sort_order — the display order Plane uses for the property list. This is the order you want when rendering a form; note that sort_order itself is not returned on the property object.
  • created_at , -created_at — when each property was created
  • id , -id

Pagination ​

per_page:optionalinteger

Page size. Defaults to 50, maximum 200. Most types carry fewer than 20 properties, so one page is usually the whole set.

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.

paginate:optionalstring

Set to cursor to opt into the COUNT-free keyset envelope, which returns next_cursor and has_more instead of next and total_count. Omit it for the default offset envelope.

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: created_at, default_value, description, display_name, external_id, external_source, id, is_active, is_multi, is_required, logo_props, name, options, property_type, relation_type, settings, updated_at, updated_by_id, validation_rules.
