DataLink

Entity-to-entity relationship. Links connect items to other items (Subtask, Relates, Blocks, Duplicate), or items to external resources via the link-type collection. Links are directional — FromOwner / ToOwner capture which side is which.

Sample JSON

Copy, edit, paste. Server-set fields (id, created, tenantId, …) are omitted from the example — they’re populated by the server on response.

{
  "fromOwner": "Item",
  "fromOwnerId": "item_01HITEM_LOGIN_BUG",
  "toOwner": "Item",
  "toOwnerId": "item_01HITEM_TIMEOUT_FIX",
  "linkType": "Blocks"
}
