Set the parent of a task

post

https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks/{task_gid}/setParent

Required scope: tasks:write

Updates the parent of a given task. This endpoint can be used to make a task a subtask of another task, or to remove its existing parent. When using insert_before and insert_after, at most one of those two options can be specified, and they must already be subtasks of the parent. Returns the complete, updated record of the affected task.

200Successfully changed the parent of the specified subtask.

400This usually occurs because of a missing or malformed parameter. Check the documentation and the syntax of your request and try again.

401A valid authentication token was not provided with the request, so the API could not associate a user with the request.

403The authentication and request syntax was valid but the server is refusing to complete the request. This can happen if you try to read or write to objects or properties that the user does not have access to.

404Either the request method and path supplied do not specify a known action in the API, or the object specified by the request does not exist.

500There was a problem on Asana’s end. In the event of a server error the response body should contain an error phrase. These phrases can be used by Asana support to quickly look up the incident that caused the server error. Some errors are due to server load, and will not supply an error phrase.
