Request Elements

Element	Data Type	Required?	Default	Description	Sample Data
RequestId	Int32	No		Click here for more information.
SessionTicket	String	Yes		Click here for more information.	AftyRXSTlnMPzozuKwq0kQ==
DescriptionClearFlag	Boolean	No	false	If updating an existing task and flag is set to 'true', existing description is cleared.	false
DriveEsdAndDurationFromPlannedDatesFlag	Boolean	No	false	If set to 'true', the duration is calculated by determining the number of minutes between the planned start date and planned end date, taking into account holidays and location working minutes per day.	false
EarliestStartDateClearFlag	Boolean	No	false	If updating an existing task and flag is set to 'true', existing earliest start date is cleared.	false
EngagementTimestamp	String	deprecated
ParentTaskClearFlag	Boolean	No	false	If updating an existing task and flag is set to 'true', existing parent task is cleared.
PredecessorsClearFlag	Boolean	No	false	If updating an existing task and flag is set to 'true', existing predecessors are cleared.
ProjectIdentity	PwsProjectRef	Yes		The identity of the project. Click here for more information.
ProjectTask	PwsProjectTaskDetail	Yes		The detail of the project task. Click here for more information.
StealLockFlag	Boolean	deprecated
SubscriptionsClearFlag	Boolean	No	false	If set to 'true', subscription is cleared.	false
LocksToSteal	PwsEntityLockSummary[1.100]	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.
PreviousSiblingTaskClearFlag	Boolean	No	false	If updating an existing task and flag is set to 'true', existing previous sibling task is cleared. This is the equivalent to making it the first task underneath the parent, or the first root level task if it has no parent.
