PATCH/api/v1/retro/boards/{boardID}/action-items/{itemID}

Changes an action item's status, due date or owner; send at least one.

  • status: open or done. Marking an item done sets completed_at; reopening it clears it.
  • due_at: RFC 3339, or null to clear it.
  • assignee_user_id: a member of the organization, or null (or "") to clear it.

Fields left out are kept. The board must be active.

Requires the retro:action:write scope, and retro:card:write as well.
