Im trying to copy a projecttask to another project. The source task has many sub-task under it and im trying to go through it of the child task and copy it to the target project. However when i tried to set the parent task, i got an INVALID_KEY_REF error. Below is the code im trying:
===================================
_copyTask(158824, 193532,null); // 158824 is the taskID of my source task. 193532 is the targetProject. null is initially pass since there will be no parent task for the initial call
function _copyTask(srcTaskId, targetProjectId, parentTaskId){
// Make sure source task exist
var oSrcTask = nlapiLoadRecord(‘projecttask’, srcTaskId);
if( null==oSrcTask ) {
return {error:’Invalid source task ID’};
}
// create a copy of the sourceTask
var oNewTask = nlapiCopyRecord(‘projecttask’, srcTaskId);
oNewTask.setFieldValue(‘company’ ,targetProjectId);
if(null!=parentTaskId && ”!=parentTaskId) { /* change parent if parentTaskId is provided */
oNewTask.setFieldValue(‘parent’ ,parentTaskId);
}
// I still have other thinks to do in task here
var newTaskId = nlapiSubmitRecord( oNewTask ); /** this is where the INVALID_KEY_REF error happens */
// get sourceTask children
var srSrcTaskChild = nlapiSearchRecord(‘projecttask’, null
,[new nlobjSearchFilter(‘parent’,null,’is’,srcTaskId)]
,[new nlobjSearchColumn(‘internalid’)]
);
if(srSrcTaskChild.length>0) {
for ( var i = 0; srSrcTaskChild != null && i < srSrcTaskChild.length; i++ ){ var searchResult = srSrcTaskChild[ i ]; _copyTask(searchResult.getValue('internalid'), targetProjectId, newTaskId); } } }
This is a cached copy. Click here to see the original post. -

I’m thinking this is the same but simplified if statement:
Code:
if(parentTaskId)
I know this wasn’t in your original question but this will throw an error eventually.Code:
// get sourceTask children
var srSrcTaskChild = nlapiSearchRecord(‘projecttask’, null
,[new nlobjSearchFilter(‘parent’,null,’is’,srcTaskId)]
,[new nlobjSearchColumn(‘internalid’)]
);
if(srSrcTaskChild.length>0) {
I learned a little trick from someone once and I really like doing my searches like this:Code:
// get sourceTask children
var srSrcTaskChild = nlapiSearchRecord(‘projecttask’, null
,[new nlobjSearchFilter(‘parent’,null,’is’,srcTaskId)]
,[new nlobjSearchColumn(‘internalid’)]
) || [];
if(srSrcTaskChild.length>0) {
If the search returns null it will fail on the length of your if statement. Making sure the search returns an array (even if empty) will prevent this. -

I use
Code:
if ( _.some(srSrcTaskChild) ) {}
in cases like this. It describes more clearly what you’re actually trying to achieve -‘if there’s some values, then do something…’_.some() works reliably with collections, null, undefined, [], or even objects.
