Avatar

Level 1

Hey Community,

I get for certain API request the following error message: 

is not a top level object and can't be requested directly in internal.

Does anyone of you know how to set the request to retrieve data?
 
Many thanks in advance

Hi @Sroider,

 

Predecessors are a secondary object (ie child property) of a (primary) Task object, so try something like this:

Are you looking for a task that is a predecessor to another task?
