Assigning Tasks can be confusing when programming them in VBA because of the various objects involved, all with similar names. After reading this page, you should have some clarity.
The following image attempts to illustrate the four different objects involved in assigning and updating tasks.
- TaskRequestItem – sent by the person delegating a task
- TaskRequestAcceptItem – sent by the delegatee to the originator if they accept the task
- TaskRequestDeclineItem – sent by the delegatee to the originator if they decline the task
- TaskRequestUpdateItem – sent by the delegatee to the originator if they update any task properties, such as Status.
