Having Trouble setting picklist field for a new Task

Hello,

 

NewB here.

 

I am having troubling setting the fields for anytime I create a new Task or event.

 

Using C#

 

 basic syntax...

 

 

            Task sfTask = new Task();
 
            sfTask.Description = "description";
            sfTask.WhoId = whoID;
            sfTask.Subject = "Call";
            sfTask.Status = "In Progress";

            sfTask.Priority = "low";
            sObject taskSObject = new sObject();
            taskSObject = (sObject)sfTask;
            sObject[] eventArray = new sObject[1];
            eventArray[0] = taskSObject;
            SaveResult[] sr = _binding.create(eventArray);

            for (int j = 0; j < sr.Length; j++)
            {
                if (sr[j].success)
                {
                    sr[j].id.ToString();
                }
                else
                {
                    for (int i = 0; i < sr[j].errors.Length; i++)
                    {
                        Error err = sr[j].errors[i];
                    }
                }
            }

 

What's strange is, it inserts into the table OK, but for whatever reason it is ignoring the 

 

assignments for 'status' and 'subject', yet sets the 'whoid' correctly.

What am I doing wrong?

 

Thanks!

Hi Simon,

 

thank for replying. It seems as tho' I am an idiot :smileyhappy:

 

I was not paying attention to who the leads/contacts were being assigned to. It looks like its working properly.

Just wanted to add that none of the other fields are setting except the whoid.

 

The code is simple enough, need some direction as to why none of the other fields

are not being set.

 

There are no validation rules.

Since I don't see any code issues, it has to be a permission issue. I'm willing to check all the places where a setting might be blocking. I have checked the usual...Setup-Customize-Activity and don't see anything conflicting. I just need to track when leads or contacts are making phone calls, emails ,etc. Thanks.

What version of .NET are you using ? do you have any apex triggers on Task? can you get a capture of your actual SOAP request?
