Explicitly state fields in API post statement

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can help explicitely state what fields to bring in via my API connection.

As things stand it brings through most, but not all available fields; and included in those that are not being brought over are some important ones that are needed for the subsiquent MI.

 

= Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Other Columns", "Custom", each Json.Document(VSTS.Contents("https://dev.azure.com/companyenvironment/_apis/wit/workitemsbatch?api-version=7.1-preview.1",

[Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/json"],
Content = Json.FromValue([ids=_[Grouped IDs]])

])))

 

Thanks in advance.

What you are missing is probably the response headers. You can get this by using Value.Metadata on the results of VSTS.Contents. For example:

= Table.AddColumn(#"Removed Other Columns", "Custom", each let ado = Json.Document( VSTS.Contents("https://dev.azure.com/companyenvironment/_apis/wit/workitemsbatch?api-version=7.1-preview.1",

[Headers = [#"Content-Type"="application/json"],
Content = Json.FromValue([ids=_[Grouped IDs]]))

])) in [Data = ado, Headers = Value.Metadata(ado)])
