link attribute contains full_name of project

[Erik]

When getting the link attribute of for example a task it contains the full name of the project.

I think in most cases it would make more sense to include the name aka project code instead. 

And if replacing it is not an option please include both. Like this we have to do an additional query just to get the project code.

Hi @Erik,

if I may ask, for what do you use the link attribute?

In most of the cases we are getting the project from a task like this:

task["project"]["attribute"]

Does this work for you?

[Erik]

We use it as a indicator of where in the tree structure you are at the moment like.

'.'.join([foo.get('name') for foo in bar.get('link')])

gives for example Project.sequence.shot.task

With the old api we do it in a recursive function using getParent and the end result is

project.sequence.shot.task

 

This is for a project where the Project name is Project and the Project code is project

I see. We are doing like this to get the structure:

        while entity['parent'].entity_type != "Project":
            entities.append(entity['name'])
            entity = entity['parent']
