Text
The text column contains any text data you want to be stored in a column on your board(s). It is similar to the long text column.
Reading the text column
You can return the data in a text column in two different formats. The text field will return the data as a simple string, and the value field will return the data as a JSON string.
Here is an example payload showing both fields:
{
"text": "Insert text here.",
"value": "\"Insert text here.\""
}
Updating the text column
You can update a text column with both a simple string and a JSON string.
Simple strings
To update the text column, send a simple String
value.
For example: "Sample text"
JSON
To update the text column with a JSON value, send the value as a string.
For example: "\"Sample text\""
Code example
mutation {
change_multiple_column_values(item_id:11111, board_id:22222, column_values: "{\"text5\" : \"Sample text\"}") {
id
}
}

variables : JSON.stringify({
myBoardId: YOUR_BOARD_ID,
myItemId: YOUR_ITEM_ID,
