API filter issue

Support
1

Hi, I’m trying to filter tasks in the /tasks/all endpoint but when I pass a filter like this one ‘done = false && (labels in “TODO”)’ I get Bad Request

Error response content: {“code”:4019,“message”:“The task filter value ‘TODO’ for field ‘labels’ is invalid.”}

But when I use the same syntax filter on the UI, it works just fine. Am I using the syntax wrong? Is there another format for the API? I used the swagger reference. It is not an auth issue as if I remove the filters it returns just fine.
This is the full encoded request url “https://my.vikunja.instance/api/v1/tasks/all?sort_by=due_date&order_by=asc&filter=done+%3D+false+%26%26+(labels+in+“TODO”)”

Docker images versions for my docker-compose stack
vikunja-db-1 postgres:17 (45a04d02adcf)
vikunja-vikunja-1 vikunja/vikunja:latest (cec159e222f5)

Error shown in vikunja logs:
Task filter value is invalid [Value: TODO, Field: labels]
GET 400 /api/v1/tasks/all?sort_by=due_date&order_by=asc&filter=done+%3D+false+%26%26+%28labels+in+%22TODO%22%29 23.387035ms - python-requests/2.32.3

To filter with the api, you need to pass the id of the label you want
to filter for, not the name.

Check the browser dev tools when filtering via the UI to see what
filter it was resolved to.
