object
Whether time on the task is billable unless a project says otherwise.
The task’s default hourly rate, in the account’s currency. Only saved for someone who may see everyone’s amounts.
True makes it a common task: added to every project created from then on, and listed first under Common on the Tasks page. Archived tasks are not added.
False archives the task.

Section titled “Responses”OK
Shorthand for the overwhelmingly common ServiceResponse<TData, ErrorResponse>.
C# cannot alias an open generic, so this is expressed as a subclass rather than a using alias.
object
True when the call succeeded and TData? ServiceResponse<TData, TError>.Data is populated.
Payload on success; default on failure.
object
Whether time on the task is billable unless a project says otherwise.
The task’s default hourly rate, in the account’s currency. Only shown to people who may see everyone’s amounts.
True for a common task: it is added to every project created from then on, and the Tasks page lists it first, under Common. Projects that already exist are not changed.
How many projects the task is on.
Total hours tracked on the task.
The date the task was last used.
Set when the account’s plan limit archived the task automatically.
Error on failure; default on success. Always serialized, per TData? ServiceResponse<TData, TError>.Data.
object
Stable, machine-readable error identifier (for example account.not_found).
Clients branch on this, never on string ErrorResponse.Message.
Human-readable description of what went wrong. Safe to surface to a User.
Optional per-field validation failures, keyed by field name. Null (and omitted from JSON) for errors that are not validation failures.
Optional machine-readable facts about the failure that a client renders rather than parses
out of string ErrorResponse.Message — e.g. plan.limit_reached’s limit, count and
planName. Null (and omitted from JSON) for errors that carry none.
