Summary

Closes #21740

Rewrites Monday.com's create/update item and column actions to use a single structured columnValues JSON prop instead of per-column props generated dynamically via reloadProps/additionalProps — the dynamic path can't be driven by an agent in MCP/tools-only mode. Adds a List Columns action so callers can discover valid column IDs and labels up front, and fixes column-value handling and item-search pagination bugs uncovered along the way.

Actions (columnValues-based rewrite, replacing reloadProps/additionalProps):

  • create-item, create-subitem (via shared common-create-item.mjs) — column props are no longer generated dynamically per selected column; a single columnValues JSON object prop (column ID → value) is parsed via the new parseColumnValues helper. create-subitem's columnValues description calls out that it targets the parent item's separate subitems board.
  • update-column-values — same columnValues object input; now validates every supplied column ID exists on the board before uploading any file columns (previously a file could finish uploading ahead of a later invalid-ID error, leaving an orphaned attachment on the item); missing/empty columnValues raises ConfigurationError instead of silently sending nothing.
  • create-columndefaults (custom labels for status/dropdown) is now a static prop instead of being conjured via additionalProps/reloadProps; setting it on any other column type now throws ConfigurationError instead of failing server-side, and an empty string is rejected rather than silently passed through.

New action:

  • list-columns — returns each board column's ID, title, type, and (for status/dropdown) its labels; throws if the board has no columns. Cross-referenced from the other actions' descriptions as the way to discover valid column IDs.

Bug fixes:

  • get-items-by-column-value — value entry simplified to a plain search string. Also fixes a pagination bug: any board returning more than one page of matches threw a TypeError, because the follow-up request destructured the wrong response shape (items_page_by_column_values instead of next_items_page) and sent a malformed cursor variable (a bare string instead of { cursor }). Verified against monday's next_items_page API reference.

App + shared:

  • monday.app.mjsitemColumnValues prop renamed to columnValues with an updated description; fixed the same malformed-cursor bug in getItemsByColumnValue.
  • common/utils.mjs — added parseColumnValues (accepts a JSON string or object, parses JSON-literal string values so text like "123" isn't coerced to a number, rejects non-object input); removed the now-unused capitalizeWord; getColumnOptions is now null-safe.
  • common/queries.mjslistItemsNextPage now selects column_values on paginated items (previously only id/name, which would have broken formatColumnValues on page 2+ once the pagination bug above was fixed).

Chore — version-only bumps, no functional change: create-board, create-group, create-update, get-board-items-page, get-column-values, list-board-id-options, list-board-ids-options, list-boards, list-workspace-id-options, list-workspace-ids-options, update-item-name, and all 10 sources (column-value-updated, name-updated, new-board, new-item, new-subitem-update, new-subitem, new-user, specific-column-updated, subitem-column-value-updated, subitem-name-updated).

Versioning: package bumped 0.12.10.13.0. Notable component bumps: create-column 0.1.50.2.1, create-item 0.1.60.2.0, create-subitem 0.1.60.2.0, get-items-by-column-value 0.1.50.2.0, update-column-values 0.2.70.3.1, list-columns (new) 0.0.2. The rest of the chore-only group above took a patch bump each.

Summary by CodeRabbit

New Features

  • Added a List Columns action showing column IDs, titles, types, and available labels.
  • Added structured column values for creating subitems and updating items, including file columns.
  • Included column values in paginated item results.

Improvements

  • Simplified column value entry with a consistent ID-to-value format.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Monday.com actions now use static columnValues inputs. Shared parsing, column discovery, validation, file uploads, item pagination, and column metadata retrieval were updated. Component and package versions were incremented.

Changes

Monday.com column input migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Column discovery and value parsing
components/monday/actions/list-columns/list-columns.mjs, components/monday/common/utils.mjs, components/monday/monday.app.mjs
Adds the List Columns action. Adds parseColumnValues. Documents column ID-to-value input with examples and references.
Static create-item column values
components/monday/actions/common/common-create-item.mjs, components/monday/actions/create-item/create-item.mjs, components/monday/actions/create-subitem/create-subitem.mjs
Create Item and Create Subitem accept parsed columnValues instead of dynamically generated column properties. Email values remain normalized.
Column update and item lookup
components/monday/actions/update-column-values/update-column-values.mjs, components/monday/actions/get-items-by-column-value/get-items-by-column-value.mjs, components/monday/common/queries.mjs, components/monday/monday.app.mjs
Update Column Values validates static inputs and uploads file values. Get Items By Column Value uses static values and updated cursor pagination. Item queries include column IDs, raw values, and display text.
Create-column defaults validation
components/monday/actions/create-column/create-column.mjs
Makes defaults static and validates that it is used only with status or dropdown columns.
Component version alignment
components/monday/package.json, components/monday/actions/*, components/monday/sources/*
Updates the package, affected actions, and sources to new versions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 6a450

The PR’s create-column changes can still pass an empty defaults value through without the intended validation, potentially causing bounded column-creation failures. The PR is otherwise mergeable, with explicit owner follow-up or acceptance of this edge case required.

Document both defaults JSON shapes. The description shows one label map, but run() wraps it as { "labels": {...} } for status and converts it to { "settings": { "labels": [{ "id": 1, "name": "..." }] } } for dropdown. Add both examples and retain the supported-type and validation details.
