API call for ASSGN object - how to retrieve the entryDate field?

[_Manish_Singh]

Hello,
I’m trying to retrieve the entryDate field for Task Assignments using the API.

For a given taskID, I can see the entryDate in an Assignment report. However:

• When I include entryDate in the API call, the API returns an error saying the field is not supported.

• The API Explorer also do not show entryDate as a field on the ASSGN object.

Screenshots below:

API call failing when entryDate is included:

API documentation missing the field:

Is it possible to retrieve the Assignment entryDate via the API? If yes, what workaround should be used?

Hi @_Manish_Singh,

At the moment this is only included in the internal API it seems, I have checked the way how report is getting that data by inspecting network tab and its using internal API and also the response you get there is not the most convenient 

I dont this this is available to us. It would be the best to contact support and check with them, also for the sake of investigation I have tried to do the custom API request and tried up to API v15.0 and none of those had entryData field supported, so this seems like something that never existing but would be really useful.

One idea that I have but this might be a total miss is to maybe check journal entries https://developersupport.workfront.com/page-api-explorer.html and see if that can be utilized in any way.

Hopefully this helps, if you open and ticket please link it here.

Best regards,
Ivan
