Remove Task

Hi
We're using

Code:


RemoveTask(“tsk_filter”);


to remove a task from the milestone plan, but have found that if we try to re-add that task, it doesn't add (no error message, it just doesn't add).
How can we remove a task but allow it to be re-added at a later time?

Thanks,Romie

Are there any actions in the Task Pane on the Left Hand side that allow you to action tasks, if there is then you are using the correct Task system. I will try and confirm the correct object name but there are two search lists one is Addin based and supports extending the Task Action Control on the Left hand side and one doesnt.

Ignore my last post that was for the other question Bank holiday weekend,,,You may find that you have to update the plan to then allow you to resubmit the task filter, I haven't tried this directly but I wouldn't see any reason to not allow this to be re-added but if there was an active filter the UpdatePlan would be used to refresh all variables.

Hi Mike,Yes we think its strange too.On a particular action we have

Code:


RemoveTask(“tskFilter”);
UpdatePlan();
CurrentFile.Update();
CurrentPlan.Refresh();


And that works fine, the task is completely removed from the dbTasks table.

If we then try

Code:


AddTask(“tskFilter”);


on another action it doesn't add.Is there any other code we could use? Any delete or remove methods on a task object?

Hi Romie, The RemoveTask method only flags the task as not Active in the database. It looks as if there are some circumstances where it will delete the task from the database but that should only be happening if there is more than 1 task with the same filter on the file. There is a method

Code:


RestoreTask(“tsk_filter”)


that will mark an inactive task as active. Let me know if you need anymore information.
