A property value defines the identifier, type, and value of a page property in a page object. It's used when retrieving and updating pages, ex: Create and Update pages.
Property values in the page object have a 25 page reference limit
Any property value that has other pages in its value will only use the first 25 page references. Use the Retrieve a page property endpoint to paginate through the full value.
All property values
Each page property value object contains the following keys. In addition, it contains a key corresponding with the value of type. The value is an object containing type-specific data. The type-specific data are described in the sections below.
| Property | Type | Description | Example value |
|---|---|---|---|
id | string | Underlying identifier for the property. This identifier is guaranteed to remain constant when the property name changes. It may be a UUID, but is often a short random string. The id may be used in place of name when creating or updating pages. | "f%5C%5C%3Ap" |
type (optional) | string (enum) | Type of the property. Possible values are "rich_text", "number", "select", "multi_select", "status", "date", "formula", "relation", "rollup", "title", "people", "files", "checkbox", "url", "email", "phone_number", "created_time", "created_by", "last_edited_time", and "last_edited_by". | "rich_text" |
Title property values
Title property value objects contain an array of rich text objects within the title property.
{
"Name": {
"title": [
{
"type": "text",
"text": {

}
{
"title": {
"title": [
{
"type": "rich_text",
"rich_text": {
"content": "The title"
}
}
]
}
}
The Retrieve a page endpoint returns a maximum of 25 inline page or person references for a
titleproperty. If atitleproperty includes more than 25 references, then you can use the Retrieve a page property endpoint for the specifictitleproperty to get its complete list of references.

Formula property values
Formula property value objects represent the result of evaluating a formula described in the
database's properties. These objects contain a type key and a key corresponding with the value of type. The value of a formula cannot be updated directly.

A relation includes a has_more property in the Retrieve a page endpoint response object. The endpoint returns a maximum of 25 page references for a relation. If a relation has more than 25 references, then the has_more value for the relation in the response object is true. If a relation doesn’t exceed the limit, then has_more is false.
Note that updating a relation property value with an empty array will clear the list.
