## Description

List defects in a qTest project updated after a given start time. Use this to find defect IDs to use when getting or updating a specific defect. If the response contains a full page of results, increment the Page parameter and call again for more. Defaults to defects updated in the last 30 days, and includes only the `Summary` property per defect to keep the response small — projects with long-running defect logs can return large payloads otherwise, since some properties (like Description) may contain lengthy text. Pass `fields` (e.g. `["Summary", "Status"]`) to include different or additional named properties instead. Use **Get Defect** for a defect's full property set. Example: `projectId: 1, startTime: "2026-09-01T00:00:00Z"` → returns `[{id: 201, properties: [{field_id: 1, field_value: "Login crash"}]}, ...]`. [See the documentation](https://docs.tricentis.com/qtest-saas/content/apis/apis/defect_apis.htm#get-recently-updated-defects)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `projectId` | `string` | Yes | The ID of a project, e.g. 1. Use the List Project ID Options action to retrieve available project IDs. |
| `startTime` | `string` | No | ISO 8601 timestamp. Only defects updated after this time are returned. Defaults to 30 days ago. |
| `page` | `integer` | No | Page number for paginated results (1-based) |
| `fields` | `string[]` | No | Optional list of property names to include per defect (e.g. ["Summary", "Status"]) — defaults to ["Summary"] to keep the response small. Pass this to include different or additional properties; use Get Defect for the full record. |

// fill the arguments itself:
