Overview

This node operation allows users to create a new task status within a specified project in the awork platform. It is useful for project management workflows where task statuses need to be dynamically added or customized, such as adding a new status like 'In Review' or 'Blocked' to track task progress more accurately.

Use Case Examples

  1. Creating a new task status 'In Progress' with a specific icon for a project to better visualize task stages.
  2. Adding a custom status 'Waiting for Approval' to a project to reflect workflow requirements.

Properties

Name Meaning
Project ID The unique identifier of the project where the new task status will be created.
Status Name The name of the new task status to be created, e.g., 'Not Started', 'In Progress'.
Status Type The type/category of the status, which may define its behavior or grouping within the project.
Task Status Icon The icon representing the task status visually, e.g., 'arrow_forward'.
Request Options Additional settings for the request such as batching, SSL handling, proxy configuration, and timeout settings.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the newly created task status.
  • name - The name of the created task status.
  • type - The type/category of the created task status.
  • icon - The icon associated with the created task status.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Project ID is valid and the user has permission to modify the project.
  • Verify that the Status Name and Status Type are provided and conform to expected values.
  • Check network settings if using a proxy or if SSL issues occur, especially if 'Ignore SSL Issues' is disabled.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server is slow or unresponsive; consider increasing the timeout setting.
