Is it possible to change ticket priorities using the api?

If yes, how?

   By the way, I'm trying to do it on milestones, not just with the "High", "Medium", "Low" setting.

   I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to do. Milestones do no have priorities, although you can order tickets within a milestone via the site.

   Can you explain what it is you're trying to do?

   Thanks,

   Hi Nicole,

   I have a milestone with associated tickets in Lighthouse. Through the API, I'd like to change the priorities of the tickets associated with the milestone. I can do that easily in the Lighthouse web UI, just by clicking reprioritize and then do a drag+drop, but I can't seem to find the way to do it through the api.

   Thanks
   Morten

   Morten -

   Correct. You cannot re-order tickets via the API. It's not really reprioritizing them as their priority state remains unchanged.

   Sorry for the confusion.

   Thanks,
   Nicole

   Hi Nicole,

   So just to be clear: This means that any reprioritization of tickets on a milestone, can only be done through the web interface? I mean there is no work around or any way to change the priority / order of a ticket in a milestone, through the API?

   Thanks

   Sorry for the delay.

   If you have enabled priorities as a project setting via account settings then that disables the priority sort on milestones. You can only do one.

   Updating the ticket priority is totally possible via API, as we've discussed, but prioritizing the ticket within a milestone is not something accessible via the API.

   Thanks,
   Nicole
