Task Management - create task with sub tasks for reviewing catalog item metadata updates

Hello @Catherine ,

I am not sure what exactly do you need help with, but I can provide at least a hint on how to automatically create a task via API.

You can use this to create first the task itself:

mutation {
  _taskService {
    createTask(task: {
      name: "Test Task",
      description: "Task description",
      taskTypeId: "f847d6c6-bbf0-4288-8ae1-e693a6127f9d",
      state: TODO,
      priority: LOW,
      assignment: {
        candidateGroupId: "220e3507-0000-7000-0000-0000000b3bc1"
      }
    })
    __typename
  }
}

The taskTypeId is a type of the task (e.g. General or Data issue), to get the specific ID of your platform I recommend using e.g. the developer tools with graphQL plugin - you would create some test task and check the Id of it in the graphQL plugin. It is always the same. I can find out if we have an API for it.

Then, you can use this to actually create the subtasks, you would use the task id that would be returned from the first API, to assign the subtask to the correct task:

mutation CreateSubtask {
  _taskService {
    createSubtask(subtask: {
    name: "Subtask a",
    description: "",
    entityReference: {
      entityType: "tableAttribute",
      id: "08664d56-0000-7000-0000-00000008d94d",
      name: "company_name"
    },
    assignment: {
      candidateGroupId: "16d3a735-0000-7000-0000-0000000e0054"
    },
    state: TODO,
    taskId: "402a10b3-6687-49a6-8ab5-45492dc53832"
  }
	)
    __typename
  }
}

I hope this helps. Let me know if you need more help with the actual plan or some clarification.

Kind regards,

Anna
