I have created a Skuid page that overlays Contact record pages. There is a "New" button which creates a new Taskrecord. on load of this new Task record, I wish for a TaskRelation record to be created and prepopulated with the associated Contact record.

To do this I am going to need the Id from the Task record and populate the TaskRelation record. Is it possible for me to get the Id from the new Task record before it has been saved? Or is the Task Id generated on save?

Use case: This is so the user knows the Contact has automatically been added associated with the Task

    Why not write a trigger on Task on insert that will create TaskRelation for you automatically?

It's not possible to get the Id of an object before it has been inserted.
Only after the record is saved you can get it's Id.

I have not clear why you need the TaskRelation object to be created, but if you want to relate the Task record with the Contact record you can use the WhoId field of Task sObject to relate with Contact record.

Hope this solves what you are looking for.

    Hi @Enrik. TaskRelatio allows you to assign same task to group of people, where as whoId allows you to assign a single entity.

  • @PranayJaiswal yeah I got it, but it is not clearly specified on the question that is needed to assign to a group of people

  • TaskRelation is only used for the same reason.. He's keen on using TaskRelation implies the architecture preference already made.
