Remarks

The schema that defines shared workspace tasks and their properties for a SharePoint Products and Technologies site can be modified on the server in such a way that the Add method of the SharedWorkspaceTasks collection may raise an error, or may disregard the values of certain arguments. In particular, the task status and priority enumerations can be customized. Some examples of the problems that can result are mentioned below:

• If a Status argument is supplied, and the status field has been removed from the customized tasks schema, the argument will be ignored and no error will be raised.

• If a Status value is supplied that lies outside the status values recognized by the customized tasks schema, the argument will be ignored, the default value will be used, and no error will be raised.

• If a new required field has been added to the customized tasks schema, then the Add method will fail with an error, and it will no longer be possible to use the Add method to add new tasks.
