Hello J,
If you set the targetId to the relevant project when making the API call, then the custom action should be able to access that project via CurrentObject() function.
I hope this helps.

Referencing a Project in a Custom Action
Just throwing this question out here to see if anyone has had a similar experience.
I am calling a custom action on a Project using the REST API which creates a task/work item. My call executes fine and shows the "Success" dialogue but the task never appears as a child under the Project. Searching for the task in the system also yields no results.
I've tried adding a "Parent" field to link the task to the project in my JSON body but get an error "InvalidArgument" and can't send the request.
My JSON has a format like this:
ENDPOINT: https://api.clarizentb.com/v2.0/services/data/executeCustomAction
{
"targetId": "/Project/xxxxxxx",
"customAction": "Quote - New Work Items",
"values": [
{
"fieldName": "LineItemType",
"value": "/Services"
},
{
"fieldName": "Description",
"value": "A normal description"
},
{
"fieldName": "Hours",
"value": "10h"
},
{
"fieldName": "Parent",
"value": "/Project/xxxxxxx"
}
]
}
The "x's" are the Project's External ID. The custom action works when I trigger it from the UI and the $Parent is set to CurrentObject() but I can't seem to figure out what value the function passes.
Any help would be appreciated!
J
