Filter work items by tags with reportable rest API of RTC

Jochen Widmaier (16●7) | asked Mar 17 '21, 12:51 p.m.

Hi,

I am trying to get all work items with a specific tag. Is this possible somehow?

My current solution is to retrieve all work items via the reportable REST API of RTC and then filter on client side. But this is a huge overhead.

Thank you,

Jochen

You can try the following:

https://<server>:9443/ccm/rpt/repository/workitem?fields=workitem/workItem[tags=|xyz|]/*

which will return all work items having the tag xyz.

You can note that | is needed as tags are always separated by |, even if there is single tag. You can also use more filters.

Thank you for your answer.

I have tried this out. Unfortunately it only returns the work items where the given tag is the only tag. If a work item has also other tags, it won't be included in the result.

Is there any filter possibility like <tag> in <taglist> or <taglist>.contains(<tag>), which returns all work items which contain at least the given tag?

It's all about the answers!
