Updating Tasks

[chodges]

Hello:

Can someone show me how to update a task. Right now here is what I'm doing:

$type_id = new \garethp\ews\API\Type\ItemIdType($this->external_id,$this->change_key);
$task = $api->getItem($type_id);
										
$bodyType = new \garethp\ews\API\Type\BodyType($this->description);

$request = [
    'ItemChange' => [
        'ItemId' => $type_id->toArray(),
        'Updates' => [
            'Body' => $bodyType->toArray(),
            'DueDate' => $dt->toArray(),
            'Subject' => $this->title,
        ]
    ]
];

$results = $api->updateItems($request);

And its not updating. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks!

You have to generate correct content to update Task.

        $type_id = new \garethp\ews\API\Type\ItemIdType($this->external_id, $this->change_key);
        $body = new BodyType();
        $body->setBodyType(BodyTypeType::TEXT);
        $body->set($this->description);

        $changes = [
            'Body' => $bodyType,
            'StartDate' => (new \DateTime())->format('c'),
            'DueDate' => (new \DateTime())->format('c')
        ];

        $request = [
            'ItemChange' => [
                'ItemId' => $type_id->toArray(),
                'Updates' => ItemUpdateBuilder::buildUpdateItemChanges('Task', 'task', $changes)
            ]
        ];

        $options = [
            'ConflictResolution' => ConflictResolutionType::ALWAYS_OVERWRITE,
        ];

        /** @var TaskType $taskType */
        $taskType = $this->getCalendar()->updateItems($request, $options)

This work only with subject, body and importance in my case: If I put $changes['StartDate'] = XXXX; to the array I get the Error: ...Exception: Could not find uri item:startdate ...

If I i wrote: $changes['task:StartDate'] = XXXX; I get an array from buildUpdateItemChanges():

              3:
                  FieldURI:
                      FieldURI:  item:Sensitivity
                  Task:
                      Sensitivity:  Normal
              4:
                  IndexedFieldURI:
                      FieldURI:
                      FieldIndex:  StartDate
                  Task:
                      task:  2018-10-12T14:51:46Z

Gives the following Message: PHP Fatal error: Uncaught SoapFault exception: [a:ErrorSchemaValidation] The request failed schema validation: The 'FieldURI' attribute is invalid - The value '' is invalid according to its datatype

If I don't use the field StartDate it works fine, all other fields from TASK throws the same exception. I'm very irritated, what I'm doing wrong?
