Activity "get" API is not retrieving custom data, target or assignee
June 21, 2013, 08:02:35 pm
I am currently using the Activity API to get a single activity by id.  However, none of the custom data on the record, activity assignees or activity targets are being returned.  How can I force the Activity "get" API to return these extra fields?

Base on the examples, I updated my code. The current call is:
cj().crmAPI ('Activity','get',{ 'sequential' :'1', 'return.assignee_contact_id': '1', 'return.target_contact_id': '1', 'activity_id' :act_id}   etc.

But I am still not getting the assignees or the targets

The new syntax is CRM.api()

in js, the syntax for return (works as well in php) is &return=assignee_contact_id,target_contact_id...

X - I think epg is on 4.2 & you might be setting him wrong. Also, those return params are 'magic' params - I'm not sure if they work in the normal 'return' field or not - although they have been patched a bit in 4.3 or 4.4 I think

return should work with cj.crmAPI too.

but I'd suggest to upgrade to 4.3 if you can
