@PotHix I've just tried the REST API and providing a different project_id when updating a task and I get a 400 response with At least one of supported fields should be set and non-empty. Should it be possible to move tasks via the REST API?

Should it be possible to move tasks via the REST API?

No, the move is not implemented in the REST API.

For the record, moving internally is a more intricate operation, it's not just changing the ID, that's why it was not implemented yet. It's something we have in the roadmap, but will not make the cut for the next API version.

@PotHix Thanks for the info.

@StevenStavrakis Unfortunately, for now, you would need to make use of the Sync API in order to move an item, which would be done outside of this SDK.

[StevenStavrakis]

Thanks for looking into this. Is there a reason the SDK doesn't support the Sync API? As in any security or LTS considerations I should be accounting for as I continue with my project.

[scottlovegrove]

@StevenStavrakis We are actually working towards this and the next version of the SDK will be using the Sync API under the hood.

@scottlovegrove Thanks for the info, Scott. I know it's never a great question, but is there any kind of timeline on that? I'm currently working on a project that depends heavily on the SDK and the feature I've mentioned. If something is coming down the pipeline in the next month or two, I think I'd rather wait until then (along with feature relating to the new deadline field)

I haven't forgotten about this @StevenStavrakis, there are discussions going on at the moment and I want to make sure I give you the right information. Please bear with me.

@StevenStavrakis I have added the functionality into the SDK to allow you to move tasks using it, but it will only be in v4 of the SDK. We are still a few weeks away from that release being final, however, you are able to try it out using the pre-release versions, in this case, you would need v4.0.0-alpha.3. Do please give this a try if you are able to, and let us know if you have any issues/feedback.

Thanks for your patience in this matter.
