Description
Description of the problem, including code/CLI snippet
When using the API I cannot save a board, even though this behavior is supported by the API. It looks like the SaveMixin is (deliberately?) omitted from the class definition of GroupBoard and ProjectBoard.
Here's the code we're using. At our company we use two group level boards - one to display the current sprint's issues and one to display the next sprint's issues. I am writing a script to automatically update the boards at the start of the sprint, such that they each display the correct milestone.
def update_board(self):
"""
Updates the current board to point to the next sprint,and the next sprint board to point to the next-next sprint
:return: None
"""
current_board = None
next_board = None
# get the boards we're interested in
for board in self.group.boards.list():
if board.name == 'Current Sprint':
current_board = board
elif board.name == 'Next Sprint':
next_board = board
# a function that returns two milestones
current_milestone, next_milestone = self.get_milestones()
current_board.milestone = current_milestone
next_board.milestone = next_milestone
# save them - this code doesn't work because save() isn't a method of the GroupBoard
current_board.save()
next_board.save()Expected Behavior
A save function is available for boards, or if another method to update boards is expected, that method is documented
Actual Behavior
A save function is not available for boards. This (appears to) make it impossible to save changes to a board. The docs do not appear to mention another mechanism to do this.
