# entities.projectObjective

Read project objective records with the projectObjective repository, and change them with the project objective mutations. Same records as the REST ProjectObjectives entity.

REST: [ProjectObjectives](https://developers.coevera.com/reference/rest/project-objectives.md).

## Queries

- `getById(entityId: ID!): ProjectObjectiveEntity` Returns the record with the given id, or null when there is none. Deleted records are returned as well.
- `getByIds(entityIds: [ID!]!): [ProjectObjectiveEntity!]!` Returns the records with the given ids; ids without a record are left out. Deleted records are returned as well.
- `getAll(limit: Int, offset: Int, filter: ProjectObjectiveFilterInput, orderBy: [ProjectObjectiveOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean): [ProjectObjectiveEntity!]!` Returns the records that match the filter, paged with limit and offset.
- `getByCriteria(filter: ProjectObjectiveFilterInput, orderBy: [ProjectObjectiveOrderByInput!], includeDeleted: Boolean, before: String, after: String, first: Int, last: Int): ProjectObjectiveEntityConnection` Returns the records that match the filter as a cursor-paginated connection.
- `getChangedFieldsSinceRevision(id: UUID!, revision: Int!): [UUID!]!` Returns the ids of the fields of a record that changed after the given revision. Returns an empty list for entities without change tracking.

## Mutations

- `updateProjectObjectiveSort(input: UpdateProjectObjectiveSortInput!): UpdateProjectObjectiveSortPayload` Update fields.
- `copyProjectObjective(input: CopyProjectObjectiveInput!): CopyProjectObjectivePayload` Copy a record. GraphQL only.
- `updateProjectObjectiveActivitiesSort(input: UpdateProjectObjectiveActivitiesSortInput!): UpdateProjectObjectiveActivitiesSortPayload` Update fields.
- `createProjectObjective(input: CreateProjectObjectiveInput!, validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!]): CreateProjectObjectivePayload` Create one record.
- `updateProjectObjective(input: UpdateProjectObjectiveInput!, validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!], sessionIdToUpdate: String): UpdateProjectObjectivePayload` Update fields.
- `bulkUpdateProjectObjective(input: [CreateOrUpdateProjectObjectiveInput!]!, deleteInput: [DeleteProjectObjectiveInput!], validationLevel: [ValidationLevel!], rollbackMethod: RollbackMethod, match: MatchingInput): BulkUpdateProjectObjectivePayload` Create or update many; per-item results.

## Types

### ProjectObjectiveEntity (object)

Objective (goal) of a project.

- `projectId: ID!` Id of the project this objective belongs to. Set on create; cannot be changed afterwards.
- `sortOrder: Int!` Position of the row within its sibling set; lower values appear first. The platform reorders neighbouring rows automatically when a value is inserted or changed.
- `revision: Int` Revision when entity was lastly changed.
- `instancePermissions: [EntityPermsEnum!]! (1 args)` Permissions the current user has on this record, out of the requested ones.
