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

[ChristopherPi3]

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 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

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.

This solution works! Thanks Lars! Much appreciated.

ahh, true, parent note it is,

funny enough both can have, and likely often do have the same ID (parentNote and thread)

How to update a note? @Rafal_Bainie 
The update note by Id doesn't update note text on UI.

if you mean update as "edit":

than I believe this is only doable for short period of time after update is posted. After that time window I don't think updates are editable
