parent

Create as a subtask of another task.

Key	Type	Description
type	const	parent
value	phid	PHID of the parent task.

column

Move a task to one or more workboard columns.

You can use this transaction type to create a task into a particular workboard column, or move an existing task between columns.

The transaction value can be specified in several forms. Some are simpler but less powerful, while others are more complex and more powerful.

The simplest valid value is a single column PHID:

"PHID-PCOL-1111"

This will move the task into that column, or create the task into that column if you are creating a new task. If the task is currently on the board, it will be moved out of any exclusive columns. If the task is not currently on the board, it will be added to the board.

You can also perform multiple moves at the same time by passing a list of PHIDs:

["PHID-PCOL-2222", "PHID-PCOL-3333"]

This is equivalent to performing each move individually.

The most complex and most powerful form uses a dictionary to provide additional information about the move, including an optional specific position within the column.

The target column should be identified as columnPHID, and you may select a position by passing either beforePHIDs or afterPHIDs, specifying the PHIDs of tasks currently in the column that you want to move this task before or after:

[
  {
    "columnPHID": "PHID-PCOL-4444",
    "beforePHIDs": ["PHID-TASK-5555"]
  }
]

When you specify multiple PHIDs, the task will be moved adjacent to the first valid PHID found in either of the lists. This allows positional moves to generally work as users expect even if the client view of the board has fallen out of date and some of the nearby tasks have moved elsewhere.
