 Tasks / **Set assignees**

# Set assignees

 PUT

 Updated Jul 4, 2026

 **Replaces** the task’s entire assignee set — this is a PUT , not a merge. Pass [] to clear all assignees.

 On success the API returns 200 OK with the task id and changed — true if the assignee set was modified, false if it already matched what you sent.

## Path parameters

 Name Type Required Description

 taskId string (uuid) Yes The task to assign.

## Request body

 Name Type Required Description

 *(body)* array of string (uuid) Yes Member or resource ids. An unknown id is 400 invalid_assignee — nothing is applied.

 curl -X PUT https://api.ganttfather.com/v1/tasks/{taskId}/assignees \
 -H "Authorization: Bearer glt_YOUR_TOKEN" \
 -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
 -d '["0198f1a2-1111-7c9e-9a1f-2d4e5f6a7b8c", "0198f1a2-3333-7c9e-9a1f-2d4e5f6a7b8c"]'

 Response 200 OK

 {
 "taskId": "0198f1a2-6b3d-7c9e-9a1f-2d4e5f6a7b8c",
 "changed": true
}

 Rather not write REST?
