TaskSecondaryResource

IMPORTANT  The SOAP API entered a limited enhancement phase in Q4 2020. Access to version 1.6 will be deactivated.

This entity describes a secondary resource assigned to a project Task. Secondary resources are different from the primary resource. A Task can have more than one Secondary Resource assigned, and a task can have secondary resources without a primary resource assigned.
