Custom Action - Add New Task

Hi Chris,

Thanks for reaching out! 

The reason that you don't see "Resource" as a field - it is because resource is a a link object and not a field at the work item level. Resource is a link object between a Work Item and a User. Basically what you need to do is to create the task first and then have another action of "New Item" and select "Resource" as the item type. Then you need to specify the Work Item created (in your use case it should probably be NewObject1) and the specific resource (if it is someone specific you need to use their username within quotes).

If you want to get a better theoretical understanding of why Resource is not a field but rather a Link object I would suggest looking on Clarizen data model here: http://usermanual.clarizen.com/15-4-3-1-data-model

In addition you can always hop on to one of our Advanced Q&A webinars which are being held every Monday and Friday - http://www.clarizen.com/live-demo.html

So simple!  That data model clears up alot, not sure how I haven't stumbled upon that in the past.  It is being printed and put on my wall!

Thanks,

Chris

This seems to work, but only if the resource is already assigned to the project. Is there a way to assign any resource?

Managed to resolve this myself....I think it was actually an error in my custom action
