getWorkItemHeader

Use this operation to retrieve the header information for a specified work item.

The request specifies the workItemID of the required work item—which you can get from the response to a previous getWorkListItems or getAllocatedWorkListItems operation—and the response returns the work item header information.

The header information includes the work item’s:

  • name
  • description
  • distributionStrategy
  • priority
  • startDate
  • endDate

These attributes can be used as criteria for sorting or filtering work items in a work item list—see Sort Filter Criteria.

You can use this operation to bring a work item up to date if you have called an obsolete version. See Work Item Versions for more information.
