ms_plan_task: Microsoft Planner Plan Task

In Microsoft365R: Interface to the 'Microsoft 365' Suite of Cloud Services

Microsoft Planner Plan Task

Description

Class representing a task within a plan of a Microsoft Planner.

Format

An R6 object of class ms_plan_task, inheriting from ms_object.

Fields

• token: The token used to authenticate with the Graph host.

• tenant: The Azure Active Directory tenant for this task.

• type: always "plan_task" for plan task object.

• properties: The task properties.

Methods

• new(...): Initialize a new plan task object. Do not call this directly; see 'Initialization' below.

• update(...): Update the plan task metadata in Microsoft Graph.

• do_operation(...): Carry out an arbitrary operation on the plan task

• sync_fields(): Synchronise the R object with the plan task metadata in Microsoft Graph.

Initialization

Creating new objects of this class should be done via the list_tasks methods of the ms_plan class. Calling the new() method for this class only constructs the R object; it does not call the Microsoft Graph API to retrieve or create the actual plan task.

List methods

All ⁠list_*⁠ methods have filter and n arguments to limit the number of results. The former should be an OData expression as a string to filter the result set on. The latter should be a number setting the maximum number of (filtered) results to return. The default values are filter=NULL and n=Inf. If n=NULL, the ms_graph_pager iterator object is returned instead to allow manual iteration over the results.

Support in the underlying Graph API for OData queries is patchy. Not all endpoints that return lists of objects support filtering, and if they do, they may not allow all of the defined operators. If your filtering expression results in an error, you can carry out the operation without filtering and then filter the results on the client side.
