How to set ExtraInfo values for Tasks

[Magsec]

I try to set some process names on individual tasks.
Therefor I created a Job script (will become an event, but makes it easier to test), which get’s all tasks from the job, and sets a value/name per task, based on it’s id.

# Dosn't work:
Task.TaskProperties.SetTaskExtraInfoKeyValue('ExtraInfo1', 'Process %s' % Task.TaskId)

# Dosn't work:
Task.TaskProperties.SetTaskExtraInfoKeyValue('TaskExtraInfo1', 'Process %s' % Task.TaskId)

# Dosn't work:
Task.TaskProperties.SetTaskExtraInfoKeyValue('MyCustomTaskName', 'Process %s' % Task.TaskId)

I get the tasks via:

RepositoryUtils.GetJobTasks(job, True)

Do I have to save it, if yes how?

It is possible! Use RepositoryUtils.UpdateTaskProperties():

There’s also a feature blog about extra info here:

Great, works fine.

Thanks,
