Im having some difficulty assigning a task to a user, no problem creating it but it keeps throwing the error;

API create() Task.task_assignees expected [Array] data type(s) but got Hash:

{"type"=>"HumanUser", "id"=>45}#

this is my code:

createRendTaskData = { 'project': {'type':'Project','id':66},

'content': 'Please render',

'sg_status_list':'rdy',

'start_date': today,

'task_assignees': {'type':'HumanUser','id':45},

'step': {'type': 'Step', 'id':36},

'entity': {'type':entity,'id':entityResult['id']} }

createRendTaskResult = sg.create('Task',createRendTaskData)

taking the task_assignees out it works, and i cant seem to find any documentation on it either? It seems like its a silly mistake on my part but i cant figure it out.

cheers

Hi Lee, are you still having trouble with this? task_assignees is a multi-entity field, so Shotgun expects a list. If you add brackets around your entity hash like this:

[{'type':'HumanUser','id':45}]

It should work. Let me know if it does.
