Configuration
5 fields, 4 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
board_id The board's id. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
item_id The item's id. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
column_id The column's id, as list_columns reports it — not its title. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
value The value as text, e.g. "Done" for a status column or "2026-06-15" for a date column. Simpler than change_column_value but it cannot reach every column type. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
create_labels_if_missing Create a status or dropdown label that does not exist yet instead of failing. | boolean | No | — | — | — |
Output
One shape.
