Hi,

 

I think I discovered a bug, very straightforward

 

GIVEN I’m accessing miro board via HTTP API V2
WHEN I create 2 shapes
AND I create then a connector between them with a caption
THEN the connector is created but the caption is not visible on the board, instead a small gap on the line is visible
 

Please see the screenshot

 

 

Below is the request sequence - 2 shapes are created and the connector between them

POST https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/uXjVPGrkY4Q=/shapes 
{
  "data": { "content": "shape1", "shape": "rectangle"},
  "position": { "x": 380, "y": 220 }
}
// for example the returned ID of the shape is 3458764538045266088


POST https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/uXjVPGrkY4Q=/shapes 
{
  "data": { "content": "shape2", "shape": "rectangle"},
  "position": { "x": 610, "y": 220 }
}
// for example the returned ID of the shape is 3458764538045266457

POST https://api.miro.com/v2/boards/uXjVPGrkY4Q=/connectors 
{
  "startItem": { "id": "3458764538045266088" },
  "endItem": { "id": "3458764538045266457" },
  "captions": [ { "content": "hello" } ]
}

An integesting thing is that if I manually (in the UI) create a new connector with a caption - it looks well in the UI and the caption is visible ofcourse, but it looks very similar in the API (/conntectors) response, just the IDs are different

 

Using the nodejs SDK gave the same result
