GraphQL -> Receiving ProjectIssue custom values

Question

Body

Good afternoon!

The problem we are having at the moment is that we are not able to get the right graphQL query to get the custom values in a workitem (issue connected to a project).
The graphQL query we are using uses far too many ratelimit "points" for the data we have.

We use a third party app which also collects some github data for us. (this is an app which we eventually will work with).
The data it is collecting are: "Workitem id" and "repository".

The question i am having at the moment: Is it possible, using the GraphQL, to retrieve the workitems (and its custom values) connected to one or multiple projects, based on the 2 properties?

Thanks for the answers in advance!

Hello and good day to you @SybrenIntercept here is some pseudo code you can test above -> I have not tested just wrote for you based on your query and use case.

query {
  repository(owner: "<OWNER>", name: "<REPOSITORY>") {
    workItem(number: <WORKITEM_ID>) {
      title
      body
      customFields {
        name
        value
      }
    }
  }
}

Replace owner with the name of your repo OWNER, Then replace repository with the name of the correct REPOSITORY. Finally replace WORKITEM_ID with the one you want to retrieve.

Hello Jge162,

Thank you for your suggestion!

Sadly it seems like that "workItem" is not a valid graphQL field

[jge162]

Try replacing work item with pull request

pullRequest(number: <PULL_REQUEST_ID>) {

similarly u code use issue

We are talking about workitems from a project.
This isn't something a about pull request :)
An example number we are getting is "4":

Sorry about that. Late for me.

if work item is not supported by the GraphQL API, you will need to use a different API or method to retrieve information about work items Sorry
