Get tasks from a project returns different number of tasks depending on page limit provided.

Hi everyone! I wanted to let you know that we’re aware of this issue and are actively working on a fix.

We conducted an investigation and discovered that this issue occurs when you have a project with sections and make a request with a pagination limit. If at any time the limit you specified coincides with the end of a section, the pagination ends early. This is the bug we have identified.

Here’s an example explanation of a scenario when this will happen:

  • PROJECT_A has a section called SECTION_1
  • PROJECT_A has a section called SECTION_2
  • SECTION_1 has 5 tasks
  • SECTION_2 has 10 tasks
  • You make an API call to Get multiple tasks endpoint and specify a limit of 5 the API will return next_page of null after those 5 tasks → technically this should not happen and it should return 15 tasks, so this is the bug that we are currently fixing.

I’ve provided a similar explanation in this comment Problem with next_page

Thanks @Phil_Seeman for flagging this to us
