A value cannot be stored to my custom field in type Task

Question

I've created a custom field of type DateTime in Task object.

I try to add to my custom field an object from type DateTime.

But I receive the following error message:

A value cannot be stored to my_custom_field in type Task

Here is the code:

Datetime now = Datetime.now();
Integer offset = UserInfo.getTimezone().getOffset(now);
Datetime localTime = now.addSeconds(offset/1000);
DateTime realEndTime = localTime;
task.Scheduled_Timeframe__c = realEndTime;

Do you know how to solve and avoid this error?

Answer 1

Create an instance of Task, make sure variable should not be reserved word.

It will like this:

Task tsk = new Task();

Datetime now = Datetime.now();
Integer offset = UserInfo.getTimezone().getOffset(now);
Datetime localTime = now.addSeconds(offset/1000);
DateTime realEndTime = localTime;
tsk.Scheduled_Timeframe__c = realEndTime;
