A9865 "New Task" button in apex:repeat table should repopulate "Related to" field
I have a "Add new Task" Button that should be displayed in every row of my visual force table via apex:repeat. The button leads to a rendered output panel, where a new task can be generated. When hitting the button in the according line, the field "Related To" of the new task should already be prefilled with the WhoId of the custom object that is queried within the Apex:repeat of the table.
Thus, how would I pass on the item.Id within the Apex repeat to the controller?
Thank you for your help!

Could you try the following:
<td><apex:commandButton action="{!generateTask}" value="New Task" id="newTaskButton"/></td>
Change this boolean value to an action function in the controller which will generate the new task simialr to the function getnewtask:
<td><apex:commandButton action="{!createtask(item.id)}" value="New Task" id="newTaskButton"/></td>
In this function: createtask(item.id) pass the id of the row element as a parameter, this way you will be able to transfer the value in item.id to the controller to be used to add it to the new task as who ID
