Adding notes (via API) as a reply to an existing note

Hey there,

I'm looking to add a note/reply to an existing projects (note/update/comment/reply) using the API.

 

I am able to add a note to an existing project via the endpoint "/attask/api/v17.0/note" using a POST request.

 

{ "noteObjCode": "PROJ", "objID": <<PROJECT OBJ ID>>>, "noteText": "Test message" }

 

And this successfully comes through with the same outcome as "New comment" in the Workfront online interface.

 

I can't however work out how to add a note, to this note. i.e. The same outcome as "Reply".

 

Published Notes don't appear to have their own ObjIDs, and I've tried various versions of the ID, threadID, topObjID, etc, to no avail.

Any thoughts on how this can be achieved? e.g.

Hi,

 

to create a reply to a note, you just need to do the same, you already did, to create a note, but additionally pass the parentNoteID.

Hi Chris,

you need to include threadID in the API call you use to post a note. We do that in our instance and it's definitely doable.

Good luck
