Request Elements

Element	Data Type	Required?	Default	Description	Sample Data
RequestId	Int32			Click here for more information.
SessionTicket	String			Click here for more information.
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	deprecated
EngagementTimestamp	String	deprecated
LocksToSteal	PwsEntityLockSummary	No		The detailed information of the locks that are to be stolen. If not specified, the request will fail if any requested locks are already held. If specified, the information supplied must exactly match the current state of existing locks or the attempt to steal the existing locks will fail. Typically, this service is invoked with LocksToSteal empty or null. If there are existing locks, they will be returned in the LockHolders member of PwsFault. This data can then be sent, as is, back to the server in a second invocation of this service, as LocksToSteal, if the caller desires to steal the locks.
ProjectorLockSetId	Int32	No		A projector lock set id is an identifier for a group of one or more locks held as a unit.
RateTaskTimestamp	String	No		This is an optimistic locking timestamp that, if provided on update request, will cause the request to fail when the timestamp stored in the database does not match the provided value.
