The TaskStatus SObject contains additional info about which status are mapped to a closed value, try running this query.

 

selectId, MasterLabel, SortOrder, IsDefault, IsClosedfromTaskStatus order by SortOrder

IsClosed is a read-only field. You should see the sObject API docs for more details on standard fields like that one.

 

On Task, IsClosed is determined by the status field.

Thanks jhersh1 for your response,

 

i see what you say, and because of that i tried to look in the Task fields but i dont see anything that can help me to close the task :S

 

Task Object, Field "IsClosed" :

       {

            autoNumber = 0;

            byteLength = 0;

            calculated = 0;

            calculatedFormula = "<null>";

            caseSensitive = 0;

            controllerName = "<null>";

            createable = 0;

            custom = 0;

            defaultValue = "<null>";

            defaultValueFormula = "<null>";

            defaultedOnCreate = 1;

            );

            precision = 0;

            referenceTo =             (

            );

            relationshipName = "<null>";

                    label = "Not Started";

                    validFor = "<null>";

                                {

                    defaultValue = 0;

                    label = "In Progess";

                    validFor = "<null>";

                    value = "In Progess";

                },

                                {

                    active = 1;

                    defaultValue = 0;

                    label = Completed;

                    validFor = "<null>";

                    value = Completed;

                },

                                {

                    active = 1;

                    defaultValue = 0;

                    label = "Waiting on someone else";

                    validFor = "<null>";

                    value = "Waiting on someone else";

                },

                                {

                    active = 1;

                    defaultValue = 0;

                    label = Diferred;

                    validFor = "<null>";

                    value = Diferred;

                }

            );

            precision = 0;

            referenceTo =             (

            );

            relationshipName = "<null>";

            relationshipOrder = "<null>";

            restrictedPicklist = 0;

            scale = 0;

            soapType = "xsd:string";

            sortable = 1;

            type = picklist;

            unique = 0;

            updateable = 1;

            writeRequiresMasterRead = 0;

       }

 

I see the Default Value in the picklist, but i don't see something that can tell you which value will close the Task.

 

Am i missing something?

 

Thanks !!

In this case the picklist value you want is "Completed".

 

It doesn't look like the API returns which picklist values correspond to closed, but that's definitely visible (and adjustable) in the UI under Task Fields.
SoleesSolees

It seems that the only posible way its to retrieve the picklist values, en let the user update the record.  Because im updating an App that its used in different countries so i really can't send the picklist default close value.

 

Thanks man !!

The TaskStatus SObject contains additional info about which status are mapped to a closed value, try running this query.
