Get Tasks Comments Data

[Phil_Seeman]

Hi @Lei_Zhong,

@Lei_Zhong

it can only get tasks of a project and then need to call Get stories from a task API for each task to get comments of all the tasks.

That’s it. Comments (stories in the API) re a separate object from tasks; you can’t get them both in one API call.

@Lei_Zhong

If we want to use modified_since parameter of Get multiple tasks API to get new/modified comments of tasks since last timestamp, it seems it only effects when adding new comments, if editing old comments, it won’t be returned in the response. Is this correct?

While I haven’t tested this myself, based on this list of properties from the Asana team I think you’re right that editing a comment doesn’t update modified_since:

Task Modified date/time when does it change?

Hey folks, sorry for the belated reply. Checked with engineering and found out the following conditions change the modified_at timestamp: story is created on a task story is trashed on a task attachment is trashed on a task task is assigned or unassigned custom field value is changed the task itself is trashed Or if of the following fields are updated: completed name due_date description attachments items schedule_status The task moving to a new container (project, portfolio, etc) will not …

This is also consistent with the documentation for modified_since which says:

Actions that count as modifying the task
include assigning, renaming, completing, and adding stories.

The boldface is mine - note it says “adding” stories and doesn’t mention editing them.
