If task states are not customized for the project, default states are used. These values are translated into the user's language when shown in the UI. These values are:
State Value | Translation in UI |
|---|---|
cb_waiting | Pending |
cb_active | Active |
cb_completed | Completed |
cb_suspended | Suspended |
You can check the project object to see whether task states are customized or defaults are being used.
Update and progress actions and messages on tasks create task activities.

// Id of the user who did the activity
user: string;
// Id of the portal user who created the activity. Exists only when

// an incoming mail.

type:
| 'post' // A post (comment) on the task
| 'update' // Task is updated
| 'progress' // Task step completed/uncompleted, progress changed
| 'archive' // Task is archived
| 'restore' // Task is restored from the archive
| 'state-change' // Task state is changed
| 'delete'; // Task is deleted
// Holds the info about the update. The shape depends on the 'type'
data?: object;

// If 'type' is 'post', holds the file details
