Description

Four changes, each driven by a reported failure.

1. Initiative work items — new client.initiatives.work_items

Initiatives roll up work items of any type, but the SDK exposed only /epics/.
Adds list, add and remove against /work-items/.

2. Clearing a nullable field on update

work_items.update serialized with model_dump(exclude_none=True), which dropped an explicit None before it reached the wire. start_date and target_date could be set but never cleared.

Now exclude_unset=True: a field left out is not sent, and a field set to None is sent as null. Plane patches partially, so this is the whole contract.

3. Rich text property values

A rich text property is a RELATION with relation_type=RICH_TEXT, and Plane requires its value as an object — a bare HTML string returns 400 "Rich text value must be an object".

  • RichTextValue(description_html=...) — what you send
  • RichTextValueDetail — what comes back, typed on `WorkItemPropertyValueDetai
  • CreateWorkItemPropertyValue.value accepts RichTextValue alongside the exi

On read, value holds the stored content's UUID and the HTML sits beside it in
value_detail.

4. Customer property enums

Customer properties reject FORMULA and CASCADING, and a customer relates only to a work item or a user — but the models reused the work item enums, so the SDK advertised values Plane answers with a 400.

  • New CustomerPropertyType (9 values) and CustomerRelationType (ISSUE, USER)
  • PropertyType gains the missing CASCADING, so listing a workspace that has one no longer raises ValidationError
  • All four enums are now (str, Enum), so a member of one is accepted where the other is expected and existing code keeps working
  • PropertyType and RelationType stay importable from `plane.models.customer as a compatibility re-export

Type of Change

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • Feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)

Test Scenarios

New offline tests — no Plane instance required:

  • TestWorkItemUpdatePayload — a field set to None is sent as null, a field out is not sent, and clearing one date leaves the other alone
  • TestRichTextValueOffline — a rich text value goes on the wire as {"value": {"description_html": ...}}, the other value types are unchanged, read carries its HTML in value_detail
  • TestCustomerPropertyTypesOfflineFORMULA/CASCADING and RELEASE/`RIC are refused, and a property built from the shared enums still works and compares equal
  • TestWorkItemPropertyTypesOffline — a CASCADING property parses; RICH_TEXT is a relation type, not a property type

Verified end to end against a live workspace through plane-mcp-server: dates clear without disturbing other fields, rich text round trips with its markup intact, FORMULA on a customer property is refused before a request is made.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK adds initiative work-item operations and exposes them through client.initiatives.work_items. It documents the legacy epics resource. Work-item updates now send explicitly set None values.

Changes

Initiative work item associations

Layer / File(s) Summary
Work-item API and client wiring
plane/api/initiatives/work_items.py, plane/api/initiatives/base.py, plane/api/initiatives/epics.py, pyproject.toml
Adds list, add, and remove operations. Exposes the resource through Initiatives. Documents the legacy epics endpoints. Updates the package version to 0.3.1.
Work-item association tests
tests/unit/test_initiatives.py
Adds fixtures and tests for listing, pagination, adding, and removing initiative work items.

Work-item update payloads

Layer / File(s) Summary
Explicit null update handling
plane/api/work_items/base.py, tests/unit/test_work_items.py
Includes explicitly set None values in PATCH payloads. Omits fields that are not set. Tests verify date clearing and payload contents.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7cda0

Explicit null updates are covered, but the repository serialization contract should be reconciled before merge so this intentional exception is clear and maintainable.

Use CRUD verb names for the association methods. The repository requires all resource methods to use create, retrieve, update, delete, or list. No exception exists for association methods named add or remove.

Rename add to create and remove to delete.

- Line 184: Update the serialization guidance for the PATCH operation using the
surrounding resource serialization rule: explicitly document an exception
allowing model_dump(exclude_unset=True) so explicitly cleared fields remain in
the payload, or use an approved serializer with the same preservation behavior.
Keep the existing PATCH serialization behavior intact.
