Get a property on a workspace type

GET/api/v2/workspaces/{slug}/work-item-types/{type_id}/properties/{pk}/

Retrieve one property as it is attached to a workspace-level work item type. Use it to read a single property's configuration — its property_type, whether it is required, its options — without pulling the whole list.

This route also answers the membership question: a 200 means the property is attached to this type, and a 404 means it is not. A property that exists in the workspace but is not on this type returns 404, the same as an id that does not exist at all.

Reads are unaffected by the workspace's work item type mode.

Path Parameters

slug:requiredstring

The workspace slug. It appears in your Plane URLs — in https://app.plane.so/my-team/projects/, the slug is my-team.

type_id:requiredstring (uuid)

The workspace work item type the property is attached to.

pk:requiredstring (uuid)

The property's id.

Scopes

workspaces.work_item_types:read

Errors

401	unauthorized	Missing or invalid credentials.
403	forbidden	Your role or token scope can't read workspace work item types.
404	resource_not_found	No such workspace, type, or property — or the property isn't on this type.
429	rate_limited	Throttled. Honor the Retry-After header before retrying.

Editing happens on the catalog

This route is read-only. To change a property's label, requiredness, or options, PATCH it on the workspace catalog with Update a workspace property. Every type the property is attached to sees the change.
