Activities task tab add info

[Fernando]

Hello,

Currently in the activities tab of a task, I can see changes of the following types: status/assignee/note/asset-published.
Is it possible to also save other types of changes to the task, such as start-date/end-date changes and who made them in the activities tab?
Could I do that through the API when catching an update task event?

Cheers,
Fernando

Hi Fernando, 

Thanks for writing in, we'll be happy to help out here. It isn't currently possible to add custom events to the activity streams within the ftrack studio UI. It currently displays a list of useful events, though we've definitely heard requests of folks wanting additional events to show up there. 

As you've pointed out, it is possible to get these events via the API, I'm attaching some guides below that explain how you can achieve this.
