Follow up on my previous thread about the Tasks API. Thanks again for adding PUT capability!

Use Case: my client's goal is to sync OpenDental Tasks & TaskNotes that clinical staff use with an external ticketing system for remote support staff.

We'd like to request some new features for the Tasks API:

1. Tasks PUT: ability to add a new TaskNote when updating a Task
2. Tasks GET: ability to get just 1 Task by specifying TaskNum, and include all its TaskNotes in the response
3. Tasks GET: when getting a list of Tasks, include their TaskNotes in the response

Is there any chance of getting these added? Thanks so much!

1. This wouldn't be a Tasks PUT, this would be a TaskNotes POST.
2. We can add the ability to GET a single Task by TaskNum. However, we will not include associated TaskNotes in the response.
3. No. Tasks GET returns Tasks, not TaskNotes.

1. GET a single Task by PK.
2. TaskNotes GET, optionally filtered by task.TaskNum.
3. TaskNotes POST, task.TaskNum and userod.UserNum required.
4. TaskNotes PUT.
