GET

Search prioritiesDeprecated

Returns a paginated list of priorities. The list can contain all priorities or a subset determined by any combination of these criteria:

  • a list of priority IDs. Any invalid priority IDs are ignored.
  • a list of project IDs. Only priorities that are available in these projects will be returned. Any invalid project IDs are ignored.
  • whether the field configuration is a default. This returns priorities from company-managed (classic) projects only, as there is no concept of default priorities in team-managed projects.
