Update a task's custom fields through the task update request itself
Alexis Montenegro
I'm having a problem updating the custom fields through my integration with n8n, my list has 12 custom fields so far with that number expected to increase, and I need a way to update the custom fields of a task in a single request, because today the only way to update a value of a custom field is 1 request per value, so for each task I need to make 13 requests to update all the custom fields plus the standard data for the task. It would be very useful to be able to update these custom fields using the same task update endpoint just by adding the “custom_fields” property: [{"id”:” ... “, “value”: “..."},...], in the body of the request “PUT https://api.clickup.com/api/v2/task/{task_id}”.
I was able to limit the requests per minute to avoid a rate limit error, but this will increase as the tasks increase and we add custom fields, and it will reach the point where it will be impossible to use clickup to manage our tasks in a matter of weeks.
I appreciate your support, hugs.
