When I want to UPDATE A TASK, the directions say the following:

An object where each key is a Custom Field gid and each value is an enum gid, string, or number: E.g. { “4578152156”: “Not Started”, “5678904321”: “On Hold” }

What does this mean?

When updating a task in Asana using the “Update Task” action, you can set custom fields for the task. The custom fields should be provided as an object where each key is the Custom Field GID (a unique identifier for the custom field) and the value is the actual value you want to set for that custom field. The value can be an enum GID, a string, or a number. For example, in the object { "4578152156": "Not Started", "5678904321": "On Hold" }, there are two custom fields being updated: 1. Custom Field with GID 4578152156 is set to the value “Not Started” 2. Custom Field with GID 5678904321 is set to the value “On Hold” To update a task with custom fields, follow these steps: 1. Search for the Asana app from the step menu 2. Select the Update Task action 3. Connect your Asana account 4. Select a Task GID or pass a string from a previous step 5. Select a Name or pass a string from a previous step 6. Scroll down to the “Custom Fields” input and provide the object with custom field GIDs and their corresponding values 7. At the bottom of the step, click Test to run the action and test the configuration Remember to replace the GIDs and values in the example object with the actual GIDs and values you want to set for your task’s custom fields.
