Jobs

Jobs represent processes that handle asynchronous work. A job created when an endpoint requests an action that will be handled asynchronously, such as project or task duplication.

Only the creator of the duplication process can access the duplication status of the new object.

📘
Intermittent states
With any work that is handled asynchronously (e.g., project instantiation from a template, duplicating a task or project, etc.), the intermittent states of newly-created objects may not be consistent. That is, object properties may return different values each time when polled until the job status has returned a succeeded value.

A Compact object reflects the default fields returned after a successful API request. See input/output options to include more fields in the response.

Property	Type	Description
`gid`	string	Globally unique identifier of the resource, as a string.
`resource_type`	string	The base type of this resource.
`new_project`	object	A project represents a prioritized list of tasks in Asana or a board with columns of tasks represented as cards. It exists in a single workspace or organization and is accessible to a subset of users in that workspace or organization, depending on its permissions.
`new_project`.`gid`	string	Globally unique identifier of the resource, as a string.
`new_project`.`resource_type`	string	The base type of this resource.
`new_project`.`name`	string	Name of the project. This is generally a short sentence fragment that fits on a line in the UI for maximum readability. However, it can be longer.
`new_project_template`	object	A project template is an object that allows new projects to be created with a predefined setup, which may include tasks, sections, Rules, etc. It simplifies the process of running a workflow that involves a similar set of work every time.
`new_project_template`.`gid`	string	Globally unique identifier of the resource, as a string.
`new_project_template`.`resource_type`	string	The base type of this resource.
`new_project_template`.`name`	string	Name of the project template.
`new_task`	object¦null	The task is the basic object around which many operations in Asana are centered.
`new_task`.`gid`	string	Globally unique identifier of the resource, as a string.
`new_task`.`resource_type`	string	The base type of this resource.
`new_task`.`name`	string	The name of the task.
`new_task`.`resource_subtype`	string	The subtype of this resource. Different subtypes retain many of the same fields and behavior, but may render differently in Asana or represent resources with different semantic meaning. The `resource_subtype` `milestone` represents a single moment in time. This means tasks with this subtype cannot have a `start_date`.
`resource_subtype`	string	The subtype of this resource. Different subtypes retain many of the same fields and behavior, but may render differently in Asana or represent resources with different semantic meaning.
`status`	string	The current status of this job. The value is one of: `not_started`, `in_progress`, `succeeded`, or `failed`.
