File Column - Clear All 500 error

Hey @adam.s ,

Change

mutation($board_id: Int!, $item_id: Int!, $column_id: String!, $value: JSON!) { 
  change_column_value(board_id: $board_id, item_id: $item_id, column_id: $column_id, value: $value) {
    id 
  } 
}

to

mutation change_column_value($board_id: Int!, $item_id: Int!, $column_id: String!, $value: JSON!) { 
  change_column_value(board_id: $board_id, item_id: $item_id, column_id: $column_id, value: $value) {
    id 
  } 
}

Maybe that already helps.

Greetings

Same error unfortunately. I’ve also tried using the update_multiple_column_values to see if that works but it gives the same 500 error. There’s no graphql error returned either, the response is the ‘We’re currently experiencing some technical issues which our developers are working hard to resolve.’

Could your try your variables as following:

{ 
  variables: { 
     board_id: 10XXXXXX, 
     item_id: 10XXXXXX,
     column_id : "my_file_column", 
     value: "{\\"clear_all\\": true}" 
  }
}

That’s not valid variables structure. It doesn’t run the mutation in that format.

Alright, so I made a quick sample which works.

When you use it in an App don’t forget to set permissions.

I’m not using the node library. But doing it in the Monday API Playground. It doesn’t work.
I’ve integrated all sorts of functionality without issue. Just this one call.

Thank you for your responses though

Could it be that clear_all doesn’t work on sub items?

Hi @adam.s!

I tested this out and you can indeed clear a Files column for a Subitem using this method.

Just make sure you’re using the correct Subitem Id and board Id that the Subitem sits on (these will be different than your parent item board Id and parent item Ids).

Let me know if this still doesn’t work for you.
