Adding Tasks with Ref & Errors

Author	Message
haemoglobin	Posted: Feb 16, 2013 Score: 0 Hi, I seem to have found a potential bug with the add tasks API with regards to the "ref" parameter and an error condition. The docs say that this parameter is alphanumeric (http://api.toodledo.com/2/tasks/index.php) however this is what I see returned if an error happens: Post: tasks=[{"ref":"123","note":"hi"}] Response: [{"errorCode":5,"errorDesc":"No title","ref":"123"}] This is correct. However if I use a letter in the reference, I get 0 back in the echoed ref parameter: Post: tasks=[{"ref":"abc","note":"hi"}] Response: [{"errorCode":5,"errorDesc":"No title","ref":0}] Note that however if there is no error, i.e if I did add a title, then the references comes back fine: Post: tasks=[{"ref":"abc","note":"hi","title":"the title"}] Response: [{"id":"80749485","title":"the title","modified":1361029585,"completed":0,"ref":"abc"}] Since I am using guids for references which have alphanumeric characters, it means it is difficult to map back any errors to the appropriate task. Thanks, Hamish
