Corrected identifiers in DESCRIBE AS RESOURCE TASK (Pending)¶
Attention
This behavior change is in the 2026_06 bundle.
For the current status of the bundle, refer to Bundle history.
We are fixing a defect that caused the DESCRIBE AS RESOURCE TASK
statement to return incorrect identifiers when the object identifier contains lowercase letters,
embedded double quotes, or certain special characters. This change is scoped only to the
DESCRIBE AS RESOURCE command for the tasks domain as well as task REST API endpoints.
This change does not impact any identifier for which the endpoints previously returned a correct result, only the incorrect cases. We expect that most users will not need to do anything to prepare for this change, however, if you depend on the current incorrect behavior, you might need to make some changes.
The following table shows how identifiers are returned before and after the change:
| Object identifier | Object canonical name | Previous identifier returned | New identifier returned |
|---|---|---|---|
TASK_A | TASK_A | TASK_A (correct) | TASK_A (unchanged) |
"task_a" | task_a | task_a (incorrect) | "task_a" (corrected) |
"task "" a" | task " a | "task " a" (incorrect) | "task "" a" (corrected) |
"""task a""" | "task a" | "task a" (incorrect) | """task a""" (corrected) |
"task a" | task a | "task a" (correct) | "task a" (unchanged) |
