I want to use n8n to set a related field in the tasks i create. however no matter what i try it doesn’t seem to work.
i can link tasks, i can create dependencies. however i’m trying to create a specific relationship (invoices - contracts] and would like the link to the other task to show like in the example below.
does anyone know how to achieve this? i have tried using create node, update node and http request node. i can manage to write json that runs but the created task always ends up having a empty field for this “relationship” field.
As far as I can see in the doc they are only talking about linking tasks. This is also confirmed by the options provided by going in the “create custom field / relationship”.
Some alternative that might be of use in the custom fields. There is a file custom field as well as a website custom fields (might contain any link to a contract document) .not sure how they could be filled easily) but it might be an option if there’s nothing else
its weird to me that this is not possible. in the native automation module within clickup i am able to set it exactly like this. the only problem is i am not able to dynamically pick up the ID of the contract task.
I have found the solution. it seems just setting the value is not enough. since a list relationship is considered a list of id’s you have to add in the json that you want to add to this list.
for now i have used the http request. but i can imagine this also works in the create a task or the update a task nodes.
the idea is that when defining the value of the custom relationship field you include the add keyword:
