Value for isArchived for Joined Teams is changing every now and then

Question

When querying for my joined teams in Microsoft Teams, I get inconsistent values for the isArchived property

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create a new public team in Microsoft Teams
2. Archive that team
3. Query the joined teams in the Graph Explorer (https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/graph-explorer?request=me%2FjoinedTeams&method=GET&version=v1.0&GraphUrl=https://graph.microsoft.com) every few minutes and you will notice that the value of the isArchived property switches between true and false even without activating/archiving the team again

The value for isArchived needs to be consistent if the team is not being activated/archived all the time

Here you can see the team is added to archived already:

Initially the isArchived value is still false. My assumption for this not being changed instantly is that there is some caching involved, so this is fine for now

A few minutes later, I send that query again, and I get the result I expect to see for the isArchived property:

However, after a few minutes, when sending the same query, I get the wrong value for isArchived again:

Answer 1

You should not be using this value as reported via a /joinedTeams query, use a separate request against each individual team. As noted in the documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/graph/api/user-list-joinedteams?view=graph-rest-1.0&tabs=http#response

Note

Currently, this API call returns only the id, displayName, and description properties of a team. To get all properties, use the Get team operation. For details, see known issues.

Values for other properties should usually be null, but as you've observed some are "randomly" populated.

Answer 2

Is this going to be looked into? Where could I keep track of changes in the Microsoft Graph API?
