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. The layout and the ease of use is great - as we turn over many many projects (Jobs) per week. We have just recently moved to Zoho One and the Projects app is a bit full on and is set for big long in depth projects.. rather than having a Project for every Service Sale we do.

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. The post-its are "work items" (or epics if in the top row). Rows can be releases, or priorities (or some other new category...?).

Overall project burndown chart
We use Zoho Sprints to manage fixed scope projects divided into sprints, where the backlog and the estimates of the whole project are known prior to begin development. The Burndown Chart is great to monitor the Sprint progression, but it does not permit to track an overall project progression. It would be great to have an overall project burndown, which would look like the sprint backlog but with the dates from the first day of the fist sprint to the forecast end of project, and would take into account
