PermissionError when trying to commit task status change

[Alican]

Hello, I am trying to make a python module to change task status for a given task ID

I have set my user role settings to have everything enabled as shown in the image. 

What am I doing wrong?

############################

import ftrack_api

session = ftrack_api.Session()

assigned_tasks = session.query('select link from Task where assignments any (resource.username = "{0}")'.format(session.api_user))
'''
for task in assigned_tasks:
    print u' / '.join(item['name'] for item in task['link']), task['id'], task['status']['name']
'''
task_id = "9b8f0400-3324-11e6-8686-02420a280107"

def updateTask(task_id,status_name):
    task = session.query('Task where id is '+task_id+'').one()
    task['status']['name'] = status_name
    session.commit()
    
updateTask(task_id,'In Progress')

I have read the API documentation and searched your forums as well... and came across this, but I couldn't make it work for my code. 

 

Thanks!

Hi Ali,

def updateTask(task_id,status_name):
    task = session.query('Task where id is '+task_id+'').one()
    task['status']['name'] = status_name
    session.commit()
    
updateTask(task_id,'In Progress')

The code above is changing the name of the status that the task has, rather than changing the status of the task.

What you would like to do is something like (haven't test run the code):

def updateTask(task_id,status_name):
    status = sesssion.query('Status where name is "{0}"'.format(status_name)).one()
    task = session.query('Task where id is '+task_id+'').one()
    task['status'] = status
    session.commit()
    
updateTask(task_id,'In Progress')

I hope this helps

Oh that's great! I'm glad it didn't give me permission......... I understand my mistake here, and the code now works.

Thank you so much for the prompt reply Mattias!
