Hello,
I’m trying to insert some info on a field with id “long_text”, the query is okay, everything goes fine, but the value is not on the field of created item.
This is the query i’m using:
mutation { create_item (board_id: XXXXXX, item_name: "XXXXXXX", column_values: " { \\\\"texto\\\\": \\\\"XXXXXXX\\\\", \\\\"texto1\\\\": \\\\"XXXXXX\\\\", \\\\"person8\\\\":\\\\"XXXXXXX\\\\", \\\\"long_text\\\\": \\\\"XXXXXXXX\\\\" }") { id } }

    Hi Bill,

    Thanks for reaching out 👋

    The way that you update the value of a regular Text Column and a Long Text column are somewhat different. You can take a look at the documentation for each column type here:

    Unlike the Text Column, when updating the value of a Long Text column, the value is a key:value pair.

    So this is what you’d use for a Text Column:
    "\\"Sample text\\""

    And here’s an example of what you’d use for a Long Text Column:
    "{\\"text\\":\\"Sample text\\"}"

    In case it’s helpful, here’s an example mutation you can use to create an item and add value to a Long Text Column:

    mutation { create_item(board_id: 00000000, item_name: "XXXXXXX", column_values: "{ \\"long_text\\": {\\"text\\":\\"Sample text\\"}}") { id } }

    Is this information helpful? Let me know if you have any questions 🙂 💪

    Best,
    Scott
