deleteWorkItem

This mutation deletes an existing work item.

Query

deleteWorkItem (WorkItemDeleteResponse!)
Deletes a single work item.

When a work item is deleted, its descendants at all levels are also deleted. For safety, this mutation will not delete work items with more than 1000 descendants. This is an attempt to prevent the case where a typo accidentally causes the enterprise’s top-level item to get deleted. Changes of that magnitude should be performed by a user, who can confirm they are correct.

Example

mutation {
  deleteWorkItem(
    app: "App_1__app"
    type: "Program__t"
    id: "1") {
    deleteCount
  }
}

{
  "data": {
    "deleteWorkItem": {
      "deleteCount": 500
    }
  }
}
