Configuration
3 fields, 2 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
task_gid The task's gid. | string | Yes | — | — | — |
fields Fields to change, as JSON — e.g. {"completed": true, "due_on": "2026-10-01", "assignee": "12345", "notes": "…"}. | object | Yes | — | — | {"completed":true} |
opt_fields Comma-separated extra fields to return, e.g. 'name,completed,due_on,assignee.name'. Asana returns a thin default set without it. | string | No | — | — | — |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.

"fields": {
"completed": true
}

One shape.

{}See Update Task run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the Asana connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
