Double quote (") in item name will fail to create the item
When creating an item through the API, the item name is specified as a separate argument:
MondayClient(<key>).items.create_item(
board_id=<board_id>,
group_id=<group_id>,
item_name='"A" name,
column_values={"key": '"A" value'},
)
However, the "s are not escaped and will therefore generate a faulty query:
mutation
{
create_item (
board_id: 1234,
group_id: "4321",
item_name: ""A" name", #<-- this is the problem
column_values: "{\\"key\\": \\"\\\\\\"A\\\\\\" value\\"}",
create_labels_if_missing: false
) {
id
}
}
I've worked around this for now by doing a value.replace('"', '\\"') before passing it to the api, but it would be nice if this library took care of it automatically.
For updating I'm only using change_multiple_column_values where the item name is in the dictionary, so no problems there, but there are probably other places where unescaped quotes are an issue.
