Update styling rules on a board

 Allow users to add, update or delete card styling rules 
PATCH https://{instance}/DefaultCollection/{project}/{team}/_apis/work/boards/{board}/cardrulesettings?api-version={api-version}
Parameter Type Default Value Notes
URL
instance string TFS server name ({server:port}).
project string Name or ID of a project.
team string Project's default team ID Name or ID of a team within the project.
board string Name or ID of the specific board.
Query
api-version string Version of the API to use.
Body
rules key/value Key is the rule type. Currently only "fill" and "tagStyle" are supported. Value is an ordered array of rules, associated with the rule type.
name string Name of the style rule. This is a mandatory field. It must be unique (within a rule type)/nonnull and less then 255 characters.
isEnabled string This is a mandatory field, which tells whether the rule is enabled/disabled.
filter string Filter represents a flat query WIQL string which starts after the "WHERE" clause. Some style types (like "fill") require this field to be present in each rule.
settings key/value This is a mandatory field. This is a set of key/value pair associated with the style type to be applied on the card e.g. {"background-color": "#C3D69B", "title-color": "#000000", "title-font-weight": "bold"} for type "fill" and {"background-color": "#FBFD52", "color": "#000000"} for type "tagStyle".

Assumption:

  1. Rule preference is determined by the order of rules in post data.
  2. Any existing rule type that is not on the post data will not be modified.
  3. For each update, all the existing rules must be mentioned for the type even if a single rule needs to be updated.
  4. Maximum number of rules allowed in "fill" type is 10 and for "tagStyle" maximum number of allowed rules is 20.

When rule update fails, it will return bad request. Following exceptions can be thrown depending on the errors:

  1. CardRulesValidationFailureException
  2. CardRulesUpdateFailureException
  3. NoPermissionUpdateCardRulesException

Status code: 400
