Create iteration
The CreateIteration endpoint allows you to create a new Iteration in Shortcut, which represents a time-boxed period for completing a set of stories or tasks. This endpoint is crucial for teams using Agile methodologies, enabling them to plan and track progress over specific time periods.

The endpoint requires essential information such as the Iteration's name and date range, while also offering options to add followers, associate groups, and attach labels for better organization and tracking. It's important to note that while multiple groups can be added via the API, the current web UI only displays one Group association. This endpoint should not be used for modifying existing Iterations; instead, use the dedicated update endpoint for such changes.

The subject story "blocks", "duplicates", or "relates to" the object story. Examples: - "story 5 blocks story 6” -- story 6 is now "blocked" until story 5 is moved to a Done workflow state. - "story 2 duplicates story 1” -- Story 2 represents the same body of work as Story 1 (and should probably be archived). - "story 7 relates to story 3”
