Create or Update a Scrum Task tasks.api.scrum.task.update

If you are developing integrations for Bitrix24 using AI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Cursor), connect to the MCP server so that the assistant can utilize the official REST documentation.

Scope: task

Who can execute the method: any user with access to Scrum

This method creates or updates a Scrum task. You will be able to:

create a task in Scrum
move a task from another project
transfer it between the backlog and sprints
change story points
link an epic

A task must be created using the tasks.task.add method or updated using the tasks.task.update method. Linking the task to 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 group list method. A group is considered Scrum if the SCRUM_MASTER_ID field is filled.

Method Parameters

Name `type`	Description
id* `integer`	Task identifier
fields* `object`	An object containing records about the Scrum task (detailed description provided below) in the following structure: `fields: { entityId: 'value' storyPoints: 'value', epicId: 'value', sort: 'value' }`

Parameter fields

Name `type`	Description
entityId `integer`	Identifier of the backlog or sprint. If the value is not specified, Bitrix24 will automatically add the task to the Scrum backlog if it exists
storyPoints `string`	Story Points — a relative estimate of the task's complexity. Can have a string value
epicId `integer`	Epic identifier
sort `integer`	Sorting
