DELETE/repositories/{repo_id}/issues/{issue_id}/milestone

Take a repository work item out of its milestone

remove_issue_milestone
  • issue:update
    A token needs the issue:update scope: Update work items — status, fields, hierarchyGranted by mcp_agent_write, write_api, write_repository.Every operation this scope unlocks
  • Audited · mutation

    x-gitmoap-audit: {"kind":"audited","arg":"mutation"}

Clears the work item's milestone and returns it; a work item in no milestone comes back unchanged. Developers and above may do this on any work item, and its author on their own.

Parameters

  • repo_idRepositoryId (string · uuid)Repository ID
  • issue_idIssueId (integer · int64)Work-item iid

Responses

200The work itemapplication/json
  • created_atstring
  • created_byActorSummaryWho created the work item, as they were when they created it.
  • iidIssueId (integer · int64)
  • root_scope_idGroupId (string · uuid)The top-level group the item's group or repository belongs to.
  • scope_idstring
  • scope_typeScopeTypegrouprepositoryWhether the item lives in a group or a repository. With scope_id and iid it forms the item's current address — the #412 a person types — which changes when the item moves.
  • status_categoryStatusCategorytriagetodoin_progressin_reviewblockeddonecancelledThe fixed category of the item's current status, which boards, filters and progress rollups work from.
  • status_idStatusId (string)
  • titleIssueTitle (string)
  • uidIssueUid (string · uuid)The work item's permanent identifier. Unlike its number, it never changes, even when the item moves to another group or repository.
  • updated_atstringWhen the work item last changed, ISO 8601. Listings order by it, newest first.
  • work_item_typeWorkItemTypeepicstorybugtaskspikechoreincidentsub_taskThe kind of work item. The type decides where an item may live (a group or a repository), which types it may have as children, and which fields it accepts.
  • ancestor_group_idsarray of GroupId (string · uuid)optionalThe groups the item sits beneath, nearest first.
  • ancestor_issue_uidsarray of IssueUid (string · uuid)optionalThe item's ancestors' permanent identifiers, nearest first, for display. It can briefly lag behind a change of parent higher up the chain.
  • assignee_idsarray of PrincipalId (string · uuid)optionalThe people assigned to the work item. Absent when nobody is.
  • author_can_pushboolean or nulloptionalWhether the author can push to where this work item lives — its repository, or a group work item's group. False for a drive-by contributor's text. Absent where it was not computed.
  • closed_atstring or nulloptional
  • closed_byPrincipalId (string · uuid) or nulloptional
  • descriptionMarkdownDoc (string) or nulloptional
  • labelsarray of LabelKey (string)optionalThe keys of the labels applied to the work item. Absent when it has none.
  • milestone_idMilestoneId (string · uuid) or nulloptional
  • milestone_scope_idstring or nulloptional
  • milestone_scope_typeScopeTypegrouprepositoryor nulloptionalWhether the item's milestone belongs to a group or a repository — not necessarily the item's own, since a group milestone can hold work items from several repositories.
  • parent_refIssueRef or nulloptionalThe parent's current address, for display. Absent when the item has no parent.
  • parent_uidIssueUid (string · uuid) or nulloptionalThe parent work item's permanent identifier, if the item has a parent.
  • pointsinteger · int32 or nulloptional0–∞
  • regressed_atstring or nulloptional
  • regressed_at_shaCommitHash (string) or nulloptionalThe commit whose evidence proved the regression — the first known bad commit, and the upper end of the range of suspect commits.
  • regressed_from_shaCommitHash (string) or nulloptionalThe commit at which the item was last verified, kept when it regresses — the last known good commit.
  • regressed_run_idPipelineRunId (string · uuid) or nulloptional
  • severitySeveritycriticalhighmediumlowor nulloptional
  • type_profileBlueprintRef or nulloptionalThe custom type this item was filed as, pointing at the group or repository where the blueprint is defined. work_item_type still decides where the item may live, its children and its fields; the blueprint adds a display label and facets. Absent for an item filed as a plain built-in type.
  • verificationVerificationStateunverifiedverifiedregressedoptionalWhether CI has proved the work item's acceptance criteria. unverified until a pipeline run proves them, verified once one has, and regressed when a later run shows that evidence no longer holds.
  • verified_atstring or nulloptional
  • verified_at_shaCommitHash (string) or nulloptionalThe commit at which CI proved the acceptance criteria. Absent until a pipeline run has.
  • verified_run_idPipelineRunId (string · uuid) or nulloptional
  • versioninteger · int64optional0–∞The work item's revision, incremented on every change. Send it back with an update; if the item has changed since you read it, the update is refused with a 409.

400Bad request — a path parameter is not a well-formed value of its typeapplication/json
Error codes
  • BAD_REQUESTThe request is malformed: a parameter or a body field is not a well-formed value of its type
  • errorErrorBody
    • The ErrorBody schema
    • codestringThe coarse category, tied to the status: NOT_FOUND, CONFLICT, INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE. Every error has one; the API reference's error catalogue lists them all.
    • messagestringWhat went wrong, for a person. Written to be read, not parsed: match on reason or code.
    • fieldstring or nulloptionalOn a 400 that refused one field's value, the field, as its JSON path: email, items[0].name. Put the message under that input. Absent on every other error.
    • reasonstring or nulloptionalThe specific code, when the error has one: LAST_ORGANIZATION_OWNER, BRANCH_PROTECTED. The message starts with it too. Match on this when it is present, and on code otherwise.
    • required_scopestring or nulloptionalThe scope the access token was missing, on INSUFFICIENT_SCOPE.
    • violationsanyoptionalPresent on the structured-validation errors (PROVIDER_VALIDATION_FAILED per-node, PIPELINE_VALIDATION_FAILED DAG): a JSON array of the offending elements, so a caller can fix every one in a single round-trip. Absent (omitted) on every other error.

403Forbidden — the caller's access level or token scope is insufficientapplication/json
Error codes
  • FORBIDDENYou are signed in but may not do this here; reason names the permission or the rule that refused it
  • INSUFFICIENT_SCOPEThe access token lacks the scope this operation needs; required_scope names it
