Use “opTask” and “issue” when referencing issues
The name of an issue appears as opTask in the Adobe Workfront database. Although there are times when you need to use the issue field name to refer to issues, most of the time you must use the opTask field name instead of issue when referencing issues.
For more information about how objects appear in the Workfront database, refer to the API Explorer.
