Creating New Task with Custom Field Through API

Hello Berkley Walker, you can do it like this:

Thank you! Worked like a charm in this format João Batista

To fix the "Parameter 'customFields' value is invalid" error:

1. Correct Format: The customFields parameter should be an array of objects. Each object should include the id of the custom field and its value:

   "customFields": [
     {
       "id": "your_custom_field_id",
       "value": "your_value"
     }
   ]
   

2. Check Field ID: Ensure you're using the correct custom field ID (you can retrieve it using the GET /customfields endpoint).

3. Value Type: Ensure the value matches the field's expected type (string, date, checkbox, etc.).

4. Use Correct API Endpoint: Ensure you're using POST /tasks for creating tasks.

If you adjust these aspects, the error should resolve.

It sounds like you're encountering an issue with the format or structure of the `customFields` parameter when trying to create your task in Postman. Here are a few things you might want to check:

1. **Data Format**: Ensure that the `customFields` parameter is being sent in the correct format (e.g., JSON). Check the API documentation for the expected structure.

2. **Field Names and Values**: Double-check the names and values of the custom fields. Make sure they match what the API expects in terms of naming conventions and permissible values.

3. **Required vs. Optional Fields**: Verify if any required custom fields are missing from your request.

4. **API Version Compatibility**: Ensure that you’re using the correct API version. Sometimes, changes between versions can affect how fields are processed.

5. **Error Details**: Look for any additional error messages or codes that might provide more context on what’s invalid.

If you provide more information about the format you’re using for `customFields`, I might be able to give more specific guidance on how to resolve the issue!

formatting issue with the customFields parameter. Double-check that it’s an array of objects with the correct field IDs and value types. Also, make sure you’re using the right API endpoint and that the field IDs are valid (you can confirm them with a GET request). If everything looks correct and it's still failing, try simplifying the request with just one custom field to see if that works.
Here's an example

{
  "name": "New Task Name",
  "description": "Task description here",
  "customFields": [
    {
      "id": "your_custom_field_id",
      "value": "your_value"
    }
  ]
}
