I'm using the API to create a bug directly into Zoho Sprints. I am successfully able to create a bug, but I have an issue - The response API does not return the ID of the item created. This makes it difficult for me to store the ID from the response and then use it directly. Please return the new item ID created in the response. When I use the Get Items API call, I am able to successfully pull the data. However, there is no documentation for the values returned within an item in the response,
Message: Given URL blocked for this team. Try after sometime.
All, Does someone know how to disable the message "Given URL blocked for this team. Try after sometime."? This is very annoying. Zoho told me this occurs when more than 50 mouseclicks are done in 2 minutes. Sprints gets blocked for one hour. This really harms the progress in our team.

Zoho Spring Integration with Zoho Projects & CRM
We currently use Trello, mainly because of the Column Kanban like structure. Each of our project is a 'trello card' with the relevant details inside such.

User Story Mapping - visual post-it interface
A key process in UX design is mapping User Stories, usually as post-its on a wall or table. (see https://www.amazon.com/User-Story-Mapping-Discover-Product/dp/1491904909). This could be a way to visually generate Epics and Stories. Map it out as cards, but then you've already got Epics and Stories defined and in the backlog directly from mapping it out.
