Why can't general task created via Box Java SDK?

[gurukashyap]

BoxTask only supports 'review' task , why can't we create general task. From Box UI it is supported.

Hi @gurukashyap ,

You can create general task using API: https://github.com/box/box-java-sdk/blob/main/doc/tasks.md#add-a-task-to-a-file I can see that current documentation is a bit outdated. So here is a snippet:

boxFile.addTask(BoxTask.Action.COMPLETE, "General Task created with API", null);

The BoxTask#getAction only returns Review action but as you can see it is deprecated and you should use BoxTask#getTaskType. I hope this answers your question.
