🏷️ API version: 2025-04

The value field for connect boards, dependency, and subtask columns will now return null instead of including linked item IDs and their last updated timestamp. This change improves overall column values performance.

You can retrieve this information by querying the relevant fields directly (read more below).

Examples

The following examples show the same query's behavior before and after this change.

Previous behavior (2025-01 and earlier)

Query

query {  
  boards(ids: 1234567890) {  
    items_page {  
      items {  
        column_values(ids: ["connect_boards"]) {  
          value  
          id  
        }  
      }  
    }  
  }

How to retrieve linked item IDs and their timestamps

To retrieve the missing data, query the linked_items and linked_item_ids fields directly as shown below.

query {  
  boards(ids: 1234567890) {  
    items_page {  
      items {  
        column_values(ids: ["connect_boards"]) {  
          value  
          ... on BoardRelationValue {  
            linked_item_ids  
            linked_items {
              name
              updated_at
            }
          }  
          id  
        }  
      }  
    }  
  }  
}

Response

...
            {
              "column_values": [
                {
                  "value": null,
                  "linked_item_ids": [
                    "9876543210"
                  ],
                  "linked_items": [
                    {
                      "name": "Item 4",
                      "updated_at": "2023-08-29T15:38:11Z"
                    }
                  ],
                  "id": "connect_boards"
                }
              ]
            },
