I’m sure API functionality to support custom task types may still be coming, but it seems somewhat deficient currently. From what I’ve worked through so far, the below functionality does not seem exist via API. If it does, and I simply can’t find it, I would be ever so grateful if it could be pointed out to me.
Ability to create a custom task type (and attach to a project)
Ability to copy an existing custom task type to another project
And ideally, create a global custom task type that can be added to multiple projects
I have however found that it is possible to convert an existing task to a custom task, but the documentation is somewhat lacking here and doesn’t describe the need to set the resource_subtype = custom before it will accept custom_type and custom_type_status_option values
Thanks @Richard_Sather, certainly that covers the piece where the documentation is lacking re converting an existing task to a custom task - perhaps that should be updated in the docs at some point?
There is no mention at this point about any future improvements however, specifically around the creation of a custom task type.
