Thanks!

Thanks Payal didn't really work.

 

Request: 

https://<MY URL>/restapi/vc/boards/id/<My Board ID>/message_statuses/add?message_status=key/pending_closure

 

Response: 

<response status="error">
    <error code="501">
        <message>
      Unknown path element at node &apos;board_message_status_context&apos;.
    </message>

    akashm It looks like you're missing the /available path in the request. 

    At community level, when creating the status, the path is:

    /restapi/vc/message_statuses/add

    At the board level, when associating the already created status with the board, the path is:

    /restapi/vc/boards/id/<board id>/message_statuses/available/add

    So for your last example, it would be something like:

    https://<MY URL>/restapi/vc/boards/id/<My Board ID>/message_statuses/available/add?message_status=key/pending_closure

    Please give this a try instead
