Tasks API updates

[andrii-bodnar]

Recently, Crowdin introduced the new Sequential Tasks feature, which allows you to instantly create a proofreading task with the same scope.

The Tasks API has been updated: the new forms have been added and the form parameters have been updated. Some were deprecated, we should remove them from the codebase.

API reference:

• Add Task (crowdin.com)
• Add Task (Crowdin Enterprise)

@andrii-bodnar I don't see any way to enable the Sequential tasks neither in the crowdin.com API docs nor in Crowdin Enterprise API docs.
I only found this Docs article which explains how to do it in the Crowdin UI.

Could you please explain how to enable the creation of the Sequential tasks through the API?
After that, I would like to work on this one, so please assign it to me 🙏

Hi @Martin005, I just checked the docs and realized that it uses slightly different terminology for some reason. It's a CrowdinPendingTaskCreateForm.

At the API level, the approach is a bit different than in the UI. It should be done in two requests - create a Translate task, and create a Pending task by passing the ID (precedingTaskId) of the previously created Translate task.
