  • project_id — Project ID, sent as a numeric value.
  • start_time — Start date/time in yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:00 format.
  • end_time — End time, at least 15 minutes after the start.
  • effort — Effort value, 0 to 99999999.99 (step 0.01).

  • allow_multi_allocation — Boolean: whether multiple resource allocations are allowed.

  • updateOptions — Collection with Delete Bookings and Unlink Bookings toggles, sent as query parameters.
  • additionalFields — Repeatable list of user-defined requirement fields. Pick a field from a dynamically loaded list, then enter a value whose input type (boolean, date, number, text, rich text, select, multi-select, ID, unit) depends on the field type.
  • comment — Comment text for the requirement.
  • requestOptions — Node settings for batching (items per batch, interval), ignoring SSL issues, proxy and timeout (default 10000 ms).

Output shape

The API response for the updated requirement, most likely one item per input item.

The source pack is stripped to signatures, so the exact response shape and request body mapping could not be confirmed. Delete Bookings and Unlink Bookings are sent as query parameters.

Example 2: Update a custom field and remove linked bookings
