Is any call that returns the current assignee of the Task?

You can use the GET endpoint to query a task and its related fields.

You can also customize the data that is returned by the `GET /tasks/{task_gid}` endpoint using the `opt_fields` query parameter. For example:

`GET /tasks/12345678/?opt_fields=assignee,assignee.name,assignee.email`

will return only assignee data for the task, and include the assignee’s email address, which is something you don’t get by default. Hope this helps!
