Tasks

Tasks are available only for starter and other paid workspaces.

Task has the following properties

• name: The name of the task (string, required, unique in project)
• pid: project ID for the task (integer, required)
• wid: workspace ID, where the task will be saved (integer, project's workspace id is used when not supplied)
• uid: user ID, to whom the task is assigned to (integer, not required)
• estimated_seconds: estimated duration of task in seconds (integer, not required)
• active: whether the task is done or not (boolean, by default true)
• at: timestamp that is sent in the response for PUT, indicates the time task was last updated
• tracked_seconds: total time tracked (in seconds) for the task

Workspace id (wid) and project id (pid) can't be changed on update.
