Creating a Parent CRM Task
I'm trying to create a script that will create a CRM task that can be used as a parent task.
To achieve this you need to be able to create a CRM task that has no employee designated in the 'assigned' field, easy enough via the GUI, however when trying to create this type of task via javascript I keep getting an error that I need a value for the 'assigned' field.
I've tried the following lines of code but have had no success:
record.setFieldValue( 'assigned', null);
record.setFieldValue( 'assigned', "");
The field is not mandatory.
thanks
