Int32

SessionTicket

String

CascadeDeleteFlag

Boolean

No

false

If set to 'true', deleting a parent task deletes all children tasks. If set to 'false' and there is child task, this request will fail.

true

CloseIfInuseFlag

Boolean

No

false

If set to 'true' and the task being deleted is in use (e.g. time has been reported against the task), the task will be closed for time entry instead of being deleted. If set to 'false' and there is reported time, this request will fail.

true

ProjectTaskIdentity

PwsProjectTaskRef

Yes


This is the identity of the project task to be deleted. Click here for more information.


StealLockFlag

Boolean

No

false

If set to 'true', any lock on the engagement will be stolen if it is currently locked, otherwise, if it is set to 'false' and a lock is in place the service will fail.

false

EngagementTimestamp

String

No


This is a Base64 encoded timestamp utilized for engagement locking. To protect against overwriting other changes, you may optionally echo back the timestamp returned in a prior response. This will cause the request to fail if any change has been made between the two invocations.
