Hey all,


I’m new to GraphQL and the Monday API. I’m trying something out for the Hackathon and wonder what the best way is to get all the sub-items from an item? I’m need a ton of times so performances does matter. I saw you need to get the item ID of the parent item to get the sub items via monday.api.


Anyone wants to point me to the right direction? Thanks!

Hey @Arno,


there is a chapter about your issue in the documentation:


https://monday.com/developers/v2


You can find it under the buzz word “subitem”.

Hope that helps.


Greetings

If you still struggle you can try this query:


{

   boards(ids: "YOUR_BOARD_ID") {



     items(ids: "YOUR_ITEM_ID") {



       column_values(ids: "subitems") {



          value



      }

    }

  }

}

Thanks for being on top of this and I’m glad we also have a code example to pass around. I really appreciate this 🙂

Please note this solution is not reliable! I have used it and it will not return all subitem ids for some parent items!!

Hey @amitozalvo ,


that’s interesting. Could you name those parent items. I’m really curious.


Greetings

What do you mean by naming them? It’s happening to about 10% of parent items in my board and already reported to Monday which have told me this issue is because subitems API are not ready for production.

This is not a reliable solution as you might miss some subitems when querying them.

I’m trying to reproduce that issue. But I always get all subitems.


How much subitems do you have per Item, because there is a default limit of 25.
