Azure DevOps Rest API - Unable To Create New Iteration

Question

Trying to use REST API to create iterations for a project using POST as per this:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/azure/devops/work/iterations/post%20team%20iteration?view=azure-devops-rest-5.1

However I keep getting a 400 response.

Curiously I added one in the UI (Iteration 3) - and when I request the results it does not include the new one.

Is there an issue with this not really working properly or am I doing something wrong?

https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{projectId}/{teamId}/_apis/work/teamsettings/iterations?api-version=5.0

{
count: 3,
value: [
{
id: "f95df712-1f2d-4685-86ea-b2e7dbad8353",
name: "Iteration 0",
path: "CMMI2\Iteration 0",
attributes: {
startDate: null,
finishDate: null,
timeFrame: "current"
},
url: "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{projectId}/{teamId}/_apis/work/teamsettings/iterations/f95df712-1f2d-4685-86ea-b2e7dbad8353"
},
{
id: "ec4f29f0-0b48-4a52-9b71-45e396654330",
name: "Iteration 1",
path: "CMMI2\Iteration 1",
attributes: {
startDate: null,
finishDate: null,
timeFrame: "future"
},
url: "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{projectId}/{teamId}/_apis/work/teamsettings/iterations/ec4f29f0-0b48-4a52-9b71-45e396654330"
},
{
id: "ab3d8626-c613-48ff-9378-f3b7ed109d77",
name: "Iteration 2",
path: "CMMI2\Iteration 2",
attributes: {
startDate: null,
finishDate: null,
timeFrame: "future"
},
url: "https://dev.azure.com/{organization}/{projectId}/{teamId}/_apis/work/teamsettings/iterations/ab3d8626-c613-48ff-9378-f3b7ed109d77"
}
]
}

you'll have to do 2 requests. first create the classificationnode and then assign that classificationnode using the iterations-api — D.J.

To create new iteration, you have to use another urls. You can find them here: Classification Nodes - Create Or Update. Sample of Create iteration:

POST https://dev.azure.com/fabrikam/Fabrikam-Fiber-Git/_apis/wit/classificationnodes/Iterations?api-version=5.0

Request Body

JSON

{
"name": "Final Iteration",
"attributes": {

"startDate": "2014-10-27T00:00:00Z",

"finishDate": "2014-10-31T00:00:00Z"

}

}
