Output shape
a single JSON object representing the created task, including all provided fields and the assigned task ID
If the related ID is provided as a name or keyword, the node performs a smart search to resolve it to a numeric ID; if multiple matches are found, an error indication with match options is returned. Errors during creation will throw exceptions unless 'Continue on Fail' is enabled, in which case errors are included in the output JSON.
