Path Parameters

Body

    assignee string

    When using a JWT token, the assignee parameter is NOT optional when called directly from the API. The system will not be able to detect the assignee from the JWT token, therefore the assignee parameter needs to be explicitly passed in this instance.

    allowOverrideAssignment boolean

    Default value: true

    When true the task that is already assigned may be assigned again. Otherwise the task must be first unassigned and only then assigned again.
