Create a task

client.Task.New(ctx, body) (*TaskCreateResponse, error)

POST/v1/tasks

Creates a new task record. The $title and $status fields and the $assignedTo relationship are required.

If $createdBy is omitted it defaults to the authenticated user (for a workspace API key, the member who created the key), or to the assignee when no member is acting. The $note relationship is read-only — manage notes via their own relationships.

Supports idempotency via the Idempotency-Key header.

Required scope: tasks:create

Rate limit category: Write

body TaskNewParams

Fields param.Field[TaskNewParamsFields]

Field values for the new task. Tasks only support the documented system fields, all prefixed with $ (e.g. $title, $status). Required: $title (string) and $status (one of TODO, IN_PROGRESS, COMPLETE, CANCELLED). Call the definitions endpoint to discover the available fields. See Fields and relationships for value type details.
