How to Add a Task in ScrumHow to Add a Task in Scrum

A task can be created using the tasks.task.add method or updated using the tasks.task.update method. The task's association with Scrum is specified in the group identifier parameter GROUP_ID.

You can obtain the group identifier using the create new group method or the get list of groups method. A group is considered a Scrum group if the SCRUM_MASTER_ID field is filled.

Once the task is linked to Scrum, you can use methods for managing Scrum tasks. For example, add story points and an epic using the tasks.api.scrum.task.update method.
