Summary

Creates an OpenProject work package in the selected project using the required subject and task type. It can also set a priority, add a description, and link the new task to a parent task; the required Users field is displayed but is not read by the create implementation.

Inputs

  • Project (required) — Select the project where the task will be created.
  • Type (required) — Select the task type.
  • Subject (required) — The new task's subject.
  • Users (required) — Select a user. The create implementation does not use this value.
  • Description — Optional Markdown description for the task; sent as the raw description text.
  • Parent Task ID — Optional ID of a parent task to link to the new task.
  • Priority — Optional priority, selectable from the list or by ID. The implementation includes a priority link using this value even when left unset.

Output shape

A single n8n item containing the created task record.

The returned JSON is parsed from OpenProject's response and includes the task's id, subject, description, project, type, priority, status, author, optional parentTask, createdAt, and updatedAt. The operation sends a POST request to /api/v3/work_packages.
