Task

Update Task

PUT

Update an existing Task and replace the values of fields specified.

A Task is an individual element of work that must be performed to complete a Project. A Task can have one or more Resources assigned to it. Tasks can be linked to other Tasks to indicate whether they have a dependency or a connection.

Multiple users can be working on data at the same time. When you call an API to update an object, this call is converted into a Changeset that is then applied sequentially. You can use RetrieveChangeset to see the status of an individual Changeset.

Known Issues: This API returns an error if your Update call includes too many changes in a single API call. Please restrict usage to one change per API request. This API will be deprecated and replaced with an improved API call in a future release.
