            Thanks for fixing this .

            Yes, I am aware of the lack of compatibility. While we do have a number of our own REST APIs, history has shown those also get broken as Bamboo moved on. Our efforts to convince your team to add more reliable REST APIs coverage over the years has not been very successful. That is why we have resorted to significant use of web actions. We test and modify according to the Bamboo version we are talking to and this has proven to be reliable in most cases. However, changes that occur on a Bamboo maintenance level change (ie. x.x.1 version) are not going to be readily caught as we do not test on your maintenance level changes (nor do we this for internal API usage). We only test regularly on your minor version levels.

            bob1734599024 word of explanation from the dev team: Bamboo doesn't guarantee backwards compatibility on the Webwork actions level. To make sure your solution is upgrade proof I suggest creating a REST endpoint in your plugin which would duplicate the functionality provided by viewTaskTypes.action
