Hello,

I list all pending jobs with get jobs activity. Then i want to check if there is a pending job with priority level high or above. As i see, there is no available attribute for this property how can i get priority level of a job.

The image shows a workflow in UiPath Studio where a list of jobs is iterated, and properties of each job can be accessed in a 'Write Line' activity, with a dropdown menu displaying available job properties. (Captioned by AI)

it can depend on the referenced Package Version of UiPath.System.Activites and maybe will be offeren in newer / future versions.

Priority is offered as a filter

The image shows the "Filter builder" window from UiPath, where a filter is set to get jobs with high priority. (Captioned by AI)

as a workaround also have a look at Swagger if maybe this way allows you the custom retrievable

in orhestrator we can set more specific priority levels like Very high medium-high etc. However both in filter mode and this json response there are only three levels of priority included. Is there a reason for it?

This image shows a settings page for configuring a process named "WhatsappSendGeneralMsg", with a focus on selecting the job priority from a dropdown menu, currently highlighting options like "Very high" and "Medium-high". (Captioned by AI)

Probably Orchestrator is using “SpecificPriorityValue” for this

The image shows a section of documentation specifying the "JobPriority" and "SpecificPriorityValue" fields, including their data types, allowable values, and descriptions, with the "SpecificPriorityValue" field highlighted by a red border. (Captioned by AI)

setting more granuarly priorities (as shown in the screenshot and or mentioned in the docu)
can maybe used for technical internal job list calculations

However, we can only use what is offered (e.g. Rest API, OrchestratotJob Class). And here we do see that only these 3 levels are offered.

However, we suggest to try and do the RnD as mentioned above (Filter, Rest API)

P.S. To learn how Orchestrator interface actions translate to API call is good to inspect it in browser developer tools (F12)

E.g. below you can see that “Critical” priority translates to SpecificPriorityValue = 95

The image shows a job with a critical priority level and a specific priority value of 95 in the process management interface. (Captioned by AI)
