No method for remaining time of an issue about python-redmine

[maxtepkeev]

Hi!

What do you mean by "remaining time of an issue" ? There is no such thing in Redmine and Python-Redmine is just a client for the Redmine API. There is a done_ratio (percent) and spent_hours (integer). Maybe you are talking about some custom field that you have in your Redmine, if that is the case then you can access it via issue.custom_fields.get(X) where X is the id of your custom field resource that represents the remaining time of an issue.

Hope that helps.

"remaining time" is a data from Backlog plug-in... not from the core of redmine. That's why we dont access it from the python-redmine module

I had a look at this plugin and it looks like that it doesn't have a separate REST API endpoints. It's just exposing some of the parameters via issues REST API endpoint starting from version 1.0.0 (see change log).

I've installed the plugin and I can see the story_points field in my issues. So basically there is no need to do something with python-redmine to support this plugin. I'm still not sure what field you are talking exactly when you say "remaining time of an issue" but according to changelog of backlog plugin it only exposes the release/story_points fields and not the field which looks like the "remaining time of an issue". As you understand if this field is not exposed via REST API there is no way for you to access it, you should probably ask developers of Backlog plugin to implement this feature.
