To update a work item you have to know its ID.
If you'd like to connect a work item to some resources (EntityState, Team, Owner, Iteration, Release, etc.) you have to know their IDs.

Here are some popular queries:

  • change state for work item ID#194
    GET to /api/v1/assignables/194?include=[EntityState[NextStates]] (to know ID of the state)
    POST to /api/v1/assignables/194 payload {"EntityState":{"Id":82}}

  • add a new comment for work item ID#194
    POST to /api/v1/comments payload {"Description":"New comment","General":{"Id":194}}

  • add time spent for work item ID#194
    POST to /api/v1/times payload {"Spent":2,"Remain":1,"Description":"Some work","Role":{"Id":1},"Assignable":{"Id":194}}

  • estimate work item ID#194 (5 story points for Developer, 2 story points for QA)
    POST to /api/v1/assignables/194 payload {"Roleefforts":[{"Role":{"Id":1},"Effort":5},{"Role":{"Id":9},"Effort":2}]}

  • assign User ID#6 as Developer for work item ID#194
    POST to /api/v1/assignables/194 payload {"Assignments":[{"GeneralUser":{"Id":6},"Role":{"Id":1}}]}

  • set planned dates for work items (ID#194 and ID#195)
    POST to /api/v1/assignables/bulk payload [{"Id":194,"PlannedStartDate":"2017-03-19","PlannedEndDate":"2017-08-29"},{"Id":195,"PlannedStartDate":"2017-03-19","PlannedEndDate":"2017-08-29"}]
