501 error when updating task status via API

If you encounter a 501 error ({"message":"must not be blank","code":501}) when trying to update the task status, it’s likely that you’re missing required fields.

Solution #

When updating a task using the PUT method, make sure that all parameters are included in the body, even if you’re only updating one field (like status).

Request format:

• URL:

 PUT /v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/projects/{projectId}/tasks/{taskId}

• Include all fields in the body, such as status, name, etc. as required by the endpoint

Explanation: The PUT method requires all parameters to be sent since it overwrites the existing task data. If you only send the status, the request will fail.
