The week column presents the relative week(s) (from the current week) of the dates inputted. Our API supports this column, so you can read and update the week column via the API.

Reading the week column

You can return the data in a week column in two different formats. The text field will return the data as a simple string, and the value field will return the data as a JSON string.

{
  "text": "2022-07-18 - 2022-07-24",
  "value": "{\"week\":{\"endDate\":\"2022-07-24\",\"startDate\":\"2022-07-18\"}}"
}

Updating the week column

You can update a week column with a JSON string. Simple string updates are not supported.

To update a week column send the start and end dates in a YYYY-MM-DD format. The dates must be 7 days apart (inclusive of the first and last date) and start at the beginning of the work week defined in the account settings.

For example: "{\"week\":{\"startDate\":\"2019-06-10\",\"endDate\":\"2019-06-16\"}}"

mutation {
  change_multiple_column_values(item_id:11111, board_id:22222, column_values: "{\"week0\":{ \"week\": {\"startDate\" : \"2019-06-10\", \"endDate\" : \"2019-06-16\"}}}") {
    id
  }
}
fetch ("https://api.monday.com/v2", {
  method: 'post',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'Authorization' : 'YOUR_API_KEY'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    query : "mutation ($myBoardId:Int!, $myItemId:Int!, $myColumnValues:JSON!) { change_multiple_column_values(item_id:$myItemId, board_id:$myBoardId, column_values: $myColumnValues) { id }}",
    variables : JSON.stringify({
      myBoardId: YOUR_BOARD_ID,
      myItemId: YOUR_ITEM_ID,
      myColumnValues: "{\"week0\" : {\"startDate\" : \"2019-06-10\", \"endDate\" : \"2019-06-16\"}}"
    })
  })
})

You can find the Postman request to change the week column here.

Clearing the week column

You can clear the week column using a change_multiple_column_values mutation.

mutation {
  change_multiple_column_values(item_id:2973227073, board_id:2973227049, column_values: "{\"week\":{}}") {
    id
  }
}
