The package was created, but it seems like the TD is not being added to the package. Everything else (including the TM) is there. In the API documentation I found a value called "tdFilterId" ( https://docs.rws.com/de-DE/worldserver-11.7-developer-documentation-860026/export-tasks-645015 ) Is it necessary to set this value in order to add the TD to the package? If so, what would be the best way to find out which tdFilterId should be used? Thanks in advance for your help!Rest APIRESTWorldServerhttps://community.rws.com/developers-more/translation-management/worldserver-developers/f/api_qa_worldserver/60087/strange-answer-oncreating-attachment-through-the-rest-api/191510Tue, 24 Feb 2026 13:24:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:eb3a11fe-4c68-4360-8f61-586bb4cbbe55Tamas MeszarosMy fault, have not noticed that WS is responding with gzip, and also expressed this in the response header.https://community.rws.com/developers-more/translation-management/worldserver-developers/f/api_qa_worldserver/60087/strange-answer-oncreating-attachment-through-the-rest-apiTue, 13 Jan 2026 12:32:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:307f9be5-4599-4f11-ad78-67354fe80fbfTamas MeszarosHi, We try to create new attachments at the client (WS 11.8.4.38), but the response from the WS server is invalid. The same operation in our testenvironment (11.8.4.46) works properly.

Also, the taskStepId parameter is optional, and it's easier not to include it, because the system already knows what taskStepId to include based on taskId. Based on your example you can use this payload: [{"id":6457980,"assignedRoleIds":[8073]}]https://community.rws.com/developers-more/translation-management/worldserver-developers/f/api_qa_worldserver/58914/the-change-task-assignees-world-server-rest-api-call-is-failingWed, 03 Sep 2025 11:08:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:60647a5a-ba39-467b-8d01-08f2f84b5323Tarakeswar DubeyThe "Change task assignees" REST API call is not working.

Run the Garbage Collector cleaners and check again if you have the same results as in the UI. If you still face the same issue after the cleaners ran, you can further investigate the additional project returned by the API for more details and gather more information about it: is the project an old one, does it have any tasks assigned to it, does it have a completion date, etc. For the get tasks API call, WorldServer does not provide a GET method with a search function based on projectId. If you want to search in tasks by different criteria, you should use this API call: https://docs.rws.com/en-US/worldserver-11.8-developer-documentation-994354/search-for-tasks-645242 The call should look like this: However, if your purpose is to get all the tasks within a project for a language direction, I think it is better to use the get projects API call, which will return the tasks of the projects as well. You can then filter the model based on your required languages to reduce results: https://docs.rws.com/en-US/worldserver-11.8-developer-documentation-994354/get-information-about-a-specific-project-642529 Or you can use the search projects API call: https://docs.rws.com/en-US/worldserver-11.8-developer-documentation-994354/search-for-projects-652273 Thank you, Ancahttps://community.rws.com/developers-more/translation-management/worldserver-developers/f/api_qa_worldserver/55923/mismatch-between-api-response-and-ui-re-tasks-and-projectsMon, 16 Dec 2024 14:40:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:0bb13b42-2634-487e-b222-14314db2b838Cecilia NistalWhen listing project via the endpoint Get projects ( :// : /ws-api/v2/projects?token= ) we receive 9 records but in the UI we can see only 8 (see sample images below) In Postman, there are some project IDs not displayed on the UI When selecting an ID of any project in the UI (1069 for example) and try to get the tasks that are comprised in said project, we receive an empty body as response while on the UI we can clearly see that there are two active tasks Could you help us understand this mismatch?

The fact that it never completes could indicate issues with the environment, or the allocated number of background. It is relatively easy to check: in the UI, go to Assignment -> Background jobs; in the dropdown select "all active jobs" and see if other tasks are being processed (if yes, approximate how many). The task you want to export should be present in that list with the Job ID like in the API call (example from your screenshot: 1049). Also check "all completed and cancelled jobs" if there are tasks with Failed status, and see the execution log for details. If the list is of items to be processed is too long, but you notice that some of them advance, then you'll probably want to increase the number of background engines. If none of the items is processed, there is a possibility that no background engine is configured for the WSXI UI. The documentation here: https://docs.rws.com/binary/975503/1067030/worldserver-11-8-user-documentation/worldserver-v11-8-0-install-guide should be useful (page 51 - worth checking even if it's not a clustered environment) Best regards, Adrianhttps://community.rws.com/developers-more/translation-management/worldserver-developers/f/api_qa_worldserver/54289/tasks-import-and-tasks-export-endpoints-always-stay-in-still-in-progress-statusWed, 04 Sep 2024 14:29:00 GMT10acfa76-f078-475b-a7ef-fc5b3e8d2934:84e942c3-3b4b-404f-b980-64bff506ea17Cecilia Nistal/tasks/import and /tasks/export never finish and always stay in "STILL IN PROGRESS" status (same for UI and API).

Most probably you already moved on with this approach, which I think will work for your needs. You can also log/check the correctness of your code by following the segment.getIdProperty() value for segments. I also suggest to make a few tests with split and merged segments to validate your code for this actions as well. Hope your implementation works as expected, let me know otherwise. Thank you, Anca
