Chains createTask, getTaskDetails (to obtain the ETag), and updateTaskDetails, passing the task id forward and the details ETag into the If-Match header.
3 steps inputs: bucketId, checklist, description, planId, previewType, taskTitle outputs: detailsId, taskId
1
createTask
Create the task in the supplied plan (and optional bucket). Planner returns 201 with the created task id.
2
getTaskDetails
Read the task details resource that was created alongside the task to capture its current ETag before patching.
3
updateTaskDetails
Patch the task details with the description, optional checklist, and preview type. The If-Match header carries the ETag read in the prior step. Planner returns 200 with the updated task details.

  title: Microsoft Planner Create a Task and Populate Its Details
  summary: Create a task in a plan, then read and update its task details with a description and checklist.
  description: >-
    A plannerTask carries only lightweight fields; its rich content (description,
    checklist, references) lives on a separate plannerTaskDetails resource that is
    created implicitly with the task. This flow creates the task, reads the task
    details to capture the current ETag, and then patches the details with a
    description and checklist using an If-Match header for optimistic concurrency.
    Every request is spelled out inline so the flow can be read and executed
    without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
