Products

• Rally SaaS

Issue/Introduction

Attempts to create a conversation post (also known as a Discussion post) on a User Story via the Rally API fail despite having workspace administrator rights and a full access key.

Environment

Rally SaaS

Resolution

Use the following endpoint and payload structure to create a Discussion post. Replace #### with the specific Object ID of the User Story.
Endpoint: https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/conversationpost/create

{
  "ConversationPost": {
    "Text": "Test for Discussion",
    "Artifact": "/hierarchicalrequirement/####"
  }
}

Ensure the workspace administrator key is included in the header for authentication.
