Does task exist

I don't think task ID exists in the default "Tasks for User" report, but you can edit the report or create your own task report that includes the ID. Here's some more information about setting up the process report to include the task ID: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/latest/Configuring_Process_Reports.html#adding-report-columns

Peter, I was looking at the task report and I don't see that it contains the task id or process id. Is there another way to get that information?

Thanks Peter. I will give it a try.

I'd suggest creating a task report that you can query from that includes all tasks and a column for the task ID. You can add a filter to your query to only return a task with the given ID. Then, if no tasks are returned, then the task doesn't exist. Here's a sample query that you can run against your task report:

a!queryProcessAnalytics(
  report: cons!MY_TASK_REPORT,
  query: a!query(
    filter: a!queryFilter(
      field: <your ID column here>,
      operator: "=",
      value: ri!taskId
    ),
    pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(
      startIndex: 1,
      batchSize: 1
    )
  )
)
