createTask( )

Deprecated. This function will continue to work, but a newer version is available at wix-crm.v2.Tasks.createTask().

Description

Migration Instructions
If this function is already in your code, it will continue to work. To stay compatible with future changes, migrate to wix-crm.v2.Tasks.createTask().
To migrate to the new function:
Add the new import statement:
import { tasks } from 'wix-crm.v2'
javascript | Copy Code
If you plan to migrate all functions that use wixCrmBackend, remove the original import wixCrmBackend statement.
Look for any code that uses wixCrmBackend.tasks.createTask(), and replace it with with tasks.createTask(). Update your code to work with the new createTask() call and response properties.
Test your changes to make sure your code behaves as expected.
