I’ve hit a wall — for some reason, I’m no longer getting the related board details from the API. I even created a new test board to isolate the issue, but the problem persists.




🔧 Test Setup


This is a newly set up board just for testing purposes.


Board Setup (GUI):


here is the GUI setup



Now here are the details from the API



Blockquote

query BoardItems {

boards(ids: 8893965418) {

items_page(limit: 5) {

items {

id

name

}

}

}

}



Result



Blockquote

{

“data”: {

“boards”:

{

“items_page”: {

“items”: r

{

“id”: “8893965460”,

“name”: “Item 1”

},

{

“id”: “8893965468”,

“name”: “Item 2”

},

{

“id”: “8893965473”,

“name”: “Item 3”

}

]

}

}

]

}

}



Using the first items id 8893965460

i queried this



Blockquote

query getSubItemIds{

items(ids: 8893965460) {

name

subitems {

id

name

column_values {

id

text

value

type

}

}

}

}



BUT i get this



Blockquote

{

“data”: {

“items”: r

{

“name”: “Item 1”,

“subitems”:

{

“id”: “8893982605”,

“name”: “testing”,

“column_values”: >

{

“id”: “person”,

“text”: “”,

“value”: null,

“type”: “people”

},

{

“id”: “status”,

“text”: “Working on it”,

“value”: “{"index":0,"post_id":null,"changed_at":"2025-04-09T10:43:20.022Z"}”,

“type”: “status”

},

{

“id”: “date0”,

“text”: “”,

“value”: null,

“type”: “date”

},

{

“id”: “board_relation_mkpvsqmw”,

“text”: null,

“value”: null,

“type”: “board_relation”

},

{

“id”: “lookup_mkpvxhn3”,

“text”: null,

“value”: null,

“type”: “mirror”

}

]

}

]

}

]

}

}



as you can see


{

“id”: “board_relation_mkpvsqmw”,

“text”: null,

“value”: null,

“type”: “board_relation”

},

{

“id”: “lookup_mkpvxhn3”,

“text”: null,

“value”: null,

“type”: “mirror”

}


As you can see, the board_relation and mirror fields are returning null:


Has anyone else experienced this?


I’m wondering if something changed in how board relations are returned or if I’m missing a required field or permission. The GUI shows the connections are present, but the API no longer returns any data for those columns.


Any advice or solutions would be appreciated!

It’s a breaking change. If you’re not ready for it yet, specify API version 2025-01 or earlier.


Here’s the new syntax for version 2025-04:


query {  
boards(ids: ("1234567890"]) {
items_page {
items {
column_values(ids: ("connect_boards_xyz"]) {
id
value
... on BoardRelationValue {
linked_item_ids
}
}
}
}
}
}

Response:


...
{
"column_values": u
{
"id": "connect_boards_xyz",
"value": null,
"linked_item_ids": i
"9876543210"
]
}
]
},
...

For API version 2025-04, see the changelog:

Hi @RichardSP,


Welcome to the community!


The value field on both mirror and connect boards columns returns null by default. The mirror column has been this way for a while (see docs). The connect board response was introduced as a breaking change recently in version 2025-04 (see announcement).


You can still retrieve the same data by querying the linked_items and linked_item_ids fields directly. If you need a temporary workaround, you could call version 2025-01 or earlier, but this would only resolve the null value for connect boards. Mirror columns would still return null in earlier versions.


Let us know if you have any other questions!


Best,

Rachel


This resolved it for me,

Thank you David


Hi @rachelatmonday

I have the issue with a simple API (2025-04) query to retrieve from contact board the accound associated.

I performed this query:

query {

boards(ids: 1969783398) {

items_page {

items {

column_values(ids: [“1969783405”]) {

value

… on BoardRelationValue {

linked_item_ids

linked_items {

name

updated_at

}

}

id

}

}

}

}

}


Where 1969783398 is the bordid of contact and 1969783405 the account


The response it is always the same:

{

“data”: {

“boards”:

{

“items_page”: {

“items”: r

{

“column_values”:

},

{

“column_values”:

},

{

“column_values”:

},

{

“column_values”:

},

{

“column_values”:

}

]

}

}

]

},

“extensions”: {

“request_id”: “d92f50aa-f172-9d8c-a0ee-14b879dbbfbd”

}

}


Can you help me?

I need also the possibility to create a new contact item and associated to a specific account by the API request.


Thanks a lot for your support
