retrieve_work_item_by_identifier
Fetch a work item using its PROJECT-N identifier to get details like status, assignees, labels, and dates.
Instructions
Retrieve a work item by its full identifier (project prefix + sequence number).
The identifier must be in PROJECT-N format where PROJECT is the project's identifier string and N is the sequence number. Both parts are required.
Valid sparse fields values include: id, name, sequence_id, priority,
state, project, workspace, parent, assignees, labels, type_id,
start_date, target_date, created_at, updated_at, created_by,
updated_by, is_draft, external_source, external_id, estimate_point.
Use project (not project_id) to get the project UUID.
If you need the project UUID from a short identifier like "SHO",
use list_projects() instead — it returns id and identifier
for every project.
Args: work_item_identifier: Full work item identifier in PROJECT-N format expand: Comma-separated fields to expand (e.g., "assignees,labels,state") fields: Comma-separated sparse fieldset (see valid values above) external_id: External system identifier for filtering external_source: External system source name for filtering order_by: Field to order results by
Returns: WorkItemDetail object with expanded relationships
