AFAIKT you need to specify quite a lot of fields when creating a task via the API.
Would it be possible to make only the task description field mandatory and use insert magics like in the UI.

Background is that I'd like to write an extension for https://ulauncher.io/ so that I can quickly create a task via a few keystrokes.

You can create a task with only the title. What won't work is using quick add magic that way, that's a frontend feature.

You'll need to wait until the api can do quick add magic as well or re-implement the feature in your extension.

Ah too bad, that sounds more like a backend feature. Reimplementing it in an extension will only make maintenance a nightmare, so I'll pass on that 😉

Once I know more typescript I'll have a stab at implementing it in the backend, since it doesn't look like it's high in your priorities.
