RentmanInstall

Summary

Updates an existing Rentman task by ID, sending only the fields you add under Additional Fields in the request body to the Rentman API (/tasks/{id}).

Inputs

• taskId (required) — ID of the task to update; used in the request URL /tasks/{id}.
• additionalFields — Collection of optional fields to change. Only the fields you add are sent. Options: name, details, assignment_type (all crew, creator only, selected crew), priority, status (path such as /taskstatuses/0), public (private/public), is_template, time_budget, order, completed_at, completed_by (crew path such as /crew/0), item (numeric ID) and itemtype (Project, Contact, Crew, Equipment, Invoice, Quote, Vehicle and others), deadline, deadline_type (specific date or relative to project time), relative deadline offset amount/unit/base/direction, expiry_notification_date, recurrence settings (recurhoe, recurperiode, recureind), synchronization_id and synchronization_uri. Empty date values are sent as null, and an item of 0 or less is omitted.
• requestOptions — Node settings for HTTP behavior: batching (items per batch, interval in ms), ignore SSL issues, proxy, and timeout (default 10000 ms).

Output shape

The updated task record as returned by the Rentman API for the request.

The source pack contains only compiled stubs, so the response shape is not confirmed in the source. This is a declarative routing node and the response is presumably passed through as returned by the API. Clearing a date field by leaving it empty sends null.

Examples

Example 1: Mark a task as high priority and update its description

Task ID = 123; Additional Fields: Priority = High, Details = 'Confirm truck loading before 8am'.

Example 2: Complete a task and record who finished it

Task ID = 123; Additional Fields: Completed At = a date/time, Completed By (Path) = /crew/42, Status (Path) = /taskstatuses/3.

Example 3: Set a deadline relative to the project start

Task ID = 123; Additional Fields: Deadline Type = Relative to Project Time, Offset Amount = 2, Unit = Days, Direction = Before, Base = Start of Period.
