TaskList

[swilkinsUK]

Hi, is it possible within Robotask to retrieve a list of all active tasks? I'm working towards having a script job loop round that list and record for example {GetTaskCurrentStatus(<ExtName>)} into an external reporting database?

Yes, this is possible.
Look at my example
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Also you can simply copy task text and paste it into the task list.
Then you can see it in task editor

Code: Select all
