All Tasks

Gets all the tasks in the given project. It fetches only the main tasks and not the subtasks.

GET /restapi/portal/[PORTALID]/projects/[PROJECTID]/tasks/

Scope: ZohoProjects.tasks.READ

Request Parameters

index	int	Index number of the task.
range	int	Range of the tasks.
owner	String or Long	Owner of the task must be provided as all or user ID. (all - String, user ID - Long)
status	String	Status of the task must be all or completed or notcompleted.
time	String	Time period of the task must be all or overdue or today or tomorrow.
priority	String	Priority of the task must be all or none or low or medium or high.
tasklist_id	Long	ID of the tasklist.
custom_status	Long	The ID of the custom task status. Example : 932200000000277068.
sort_column	String	Sort tasks using the last modified time or time of creation. (created_time / last_modified_time)
sort_order	String	Sort in ascending or descending order.
last_modified_time	Long	Last updated time of task in milliseconds.
milestone_id	Long	ID of the milestone.
created_by	String or Long	Pass the value as all or the user ID (all - String, user ID - Long).
custom_fields	JSON Object	Value of the custom field. Example: {"UDF_CHAR1":"Hello"}
view_id	Long	View ID of the Task. view_id is obtained from the Get Task Custom Views API.

Example of viewing a task with custom fields

Since custom field <display_name> is not unique, custom fields are referred by their respective < column_name>. The same custom field <display_name> will be referred with different < column_name>. The params that you need to pass for the task custom fields is the value in <column_name> in Get Task Layout Details API.

You must first get all the custom fields, and then pass the <column_name> value of the custom field as a param to create a task with the custom fields.

Example: {“UDF_CHAR1”:”Hello”}

UDF_CHAR1 is the param that you need to pass while creating tasks.

Hello is the value of the custom field.

Here is a sample response of a custom field:

{
"section_name": "New Section",
"customfield_details": [{
"column_name": "UDF_CHAR1",
"is_mandatory": false,
"is_default": false",
"display_name": "My_Field",
"column_type": "singleline" }]
}
