Retrieve context parameters through MetaServlet API

Anonymous — Sat, 12 Jul 2014 17:23:11 GMT

The title says it all: how can the context parameters of a task by retrieved using the MetaServlet API?
The runTask action lets you specify the context parameters, but how can they be obtained in the first place. listTasks does not seem to list them.

Currently it is not possible. It would be interesting to know why do you need to read the context parameter values?.
You can always writing the variable values into a database table or file using the tDumpContext.

If I update a task with new context parameters (or default values) it would be useful for any external program running the task through the metaServlet service to actually be able to detect those changes (or default values).
As such, I find it also strange that the taskLog action does not list the parameter values that were used.
