Description

Read the board first with `get_board_info` for its column ids, column types, group ids and status labels. `columnValues` is a JSON string keyed by column id, such as `{"status_col": {"label": "Done"}}`, and the item lands in the board's top group unless you pass `groupId`. On the API, send the `create_item` mutation with `board_id`, `item_name` and `column_values`.
