Hello ,
I’m trying to create a row in a group with specific column value , so itried the following mutation query :


  mutation {
    create_item (board_id: 30282029, group_id: "new_groupe3628", item_name: "new item" , column_values: "{\\"text1\\" : \\"hello\\"}") {
    id
    }
    }

Wich work perfectly on the monday graphql developer tool

But when I put it in my code and use it I always get the same error :

Error: 
Parse error on " : " (STRING) at [3, 116]: 
{"response":{"errors":[{"message":"Parse error on \\" : \\" (STRING) at [3, 116]","locations":[{"line":3,"column":116}]}],"account_id":2436059,"status":200},"request":{"query":"\\n  mutation {\\n    create_item (board_id: 716535551, group_id: \\"nouveau_groupe36728\\", item_name: \\"new item\\" , column_values: \\"{\\"text1\\" : \\"hello\\"}\\") {\\n    id\\n    }\\n    }\\n  "}}

Can Someone Help Me ?

Thanks

Hello @coral!
You can just add one more pair of quotes to your mutation string. Like this:

var mutation = ‘“mutation { create_item (board_id: 30282029, group_id: “group”, item_name: “new item” , column_values: “{“text1” : “hello”}”) { id }}”’;

When you use only one pair GraphQL sees all special characters as its own syntax part and tries to handle.

Thanks For Your answer , I tried The mutation you gave me and it didn’t work I just got this error message

Error: Parse error on "group" (IDENTIFIER) at [1, 56]: {"response":{"errors":[{"message":"Parse error on \\"group\\" (IDENTIFIER) at [1, 56]","locations":[{"line":1,"column":56}]}],"account_id":2436059,"status":200},"request":{"query":"\\"mutation { create_item (board_id: 30282029, group_id: \\"group\\", item_name: \\"new item\\" , column_values: \\"{\\"text1\\" : \\"hello\\"}\\") { id }}\\""}}

Is there another way to solve this problem ?

Thanks

Hi @coral!

Of course you have an error with my mutation 🙂 Because there is my data for my group and account.

For your case you should pass your own mutation which you’ve tried to handle here:

‘"mutation { create_item (board_id: 30282029, group_id: “new_groupe3628”, item_name: “new item” , column_values: “{“text1” : “hello”}”) { id }}’"

Which tool do you use for request sending? Or which programming language?

hello ,
First , I changed of course the mutation to adapt it to my code and it did not work , I’m using node js (javascript ) and the node module graphQLClient to make the request

Sorry, @coral.
I’ve read your answer not careful enough. It’s my mistake.

Instead of escaping all mutation wholly you can add escaping only in problem place like here:

var mutation = “mutation {create_item (board_id: 557252806, group_id: \\“somes4\\”, item_name: \\“new item2\\” , column_values: \\”{\\\\\\“text1\\\\\\” : \\\\\\“hello\\\\\\”}\\") {id}}";

You should pass to the server column_values like:

"{\\“text1\\” : \\“hello\\”}"

But GraphQL “unwraps” your quotes, so you can just escape \\ and " separately:

\\"{\\\\\\“text1\\\\\\” : \\\\\\“hello\\\\\\”}\\"

I have this response: {“data”:{“create_item”:{“id”:“863374806”}},“account_id”:61627}

thanks a lot , it worked
in this case we have to json stringify the object of column values two times , that was not indicated in the doc …
Anyway now it works thanks

So glad that @olena could help you, @coral!
