# Update Task Settings

`PUT /tasks/settings`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://be.graph8.com/api/v1/tasks/settings`
- Auth: HTTP bearer

Change how a parent task completes. ORG ADMIN ONLY.

The app gates this twice - `require_admin_access` on the route and an
owner/admin role check in the body. The route gate is re-declared here;
the body check reads the role off the principal `build_api_principal`
resolves from the validated key, so a machine key (no human, no role) is
refused exactly as the app would refuse a member.

## Headers

- `Authorization` string, nullable
- `X-Target-Org-Id` string, nullable

## Request body

- TaskCompletionSettingsRequest: Mirrors `UpdateTaskSettingsRequest`. The app accepts exactly these three modes.
  - `parent_completion_mode` 'manual' | 'auto_complete' | 'require_subtasks_done', nullable: How a parent task completes relative to its subtasks.

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- ApiResponseCrmRecordPayload
  - `data` CrmRecordPayload, required: An open envelope for one record, one dashboard or one job receipt. Open because most of these reads are COMPUTED shapes - an engagement summary, a next-best-step, an intelligence status - that grow with the product, and dropping a field from an advisory read makes it say "nothing to report" rather than "we did not tell you".
  - `pagination` PaginationMeta
    - `page` integer, required: Current page number (1-indexed)
    - `limit` integer, required: Items per page
    - `total` integer, required: Total number of items
    - `has_next` boolean, required: Whether there are more pages
    - `next_cursor` string, nullable: Opaque cursor for the next page; null when there are no more items. Pass it back as the `cursor` query param to fetch the following page without computing page numbers.
    - `total_available` integer, nullable: Search endpoints only: how many records really match, when known. Can be larger than `total`, which is capped at the 10,000 results that can be paged. For company search this is a distinct-company estimate. Null when unknown; absent outside search.
    - `total_is_lower_bound` boolean, nullable: Search endpoints only: true when more records match than `total` shows (the result set is larger than the 10,000 results that can be paged). Absent outside search.
    - `notes` string[], nullable: Search endpoints only: plain-language notes about the result, e.g. that more records match than can be paged, or that a reversed `between` range was put in order.
