Rob,
thank you, your solution works. In my special case I just had to add "of front document".
How can I get a reference to an existing task
using its name?
Code:
set myTaskName to name of task id "fGboNvQt1Pr" of front document
will get the name of my task correctly.
However, this code
Code:
set oTask to task id of front document whose name contains "Task name for attachments"
won't give me the task id.
