Asana API: Invalid Request when using task/addTag or creating a task with tags

Question

I can't seem to be able to add tags to new or existing tasks.

I'm using the API from github at https://github.com/Asana/php-asana

Per the docs here, I set up the options and fired up the API call to the task endpoint. It fails with:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception 'Asana\Errors\InvalidRequestError' with message 'Invalid Request' in /mydir/asana/Asana/Errors/AsanaError.php:29

    // create new task
    $newTaskOptions = array(
        'name' => $taskName,
        'notes' => $taskNotes,
        'projects' => [11111111115445],
        'tags' => [11111119991, 11111119992]   // without this, the task is created ok
    );

    $newTask = $client->tasks->create($newTaskOptions);

Here is the object that is sent to the request procedure:

array(2) {
  ["headers"]=> array(1) {
    ["content-type"] => string(16) "application/json"
  }
  ["data"]=> array(2) {
    ["data"]=> array(4) {
      ["name"]=> string(17) "module 1 - task 1"
      ["notes"]=> string(32) "description of module 1 - task 1"
      ["projects"]=> array(1) {
        [0]=> int(11111111115445)
      }
      ["tags"]=> array(2) {
        [0]=> int(11111119991)
        [1]=> int(11111119992)
      }
    }
    ["options"]=> array(0) {
    }
  }
}

Even with their example of [ { id: 59746, name: 'Grade A' }, ... ] (using the correct tag ids and names), it still errors out. Actually, it throws a syntax error at the first "{".

Next, if I try tasks/taskid/addTag to an existing task, I receive a similar error. Here's this piece of code below.

foreach ($tags as $tag){
  $newTag = $client->tasks->addTag($newTask->id, array('tag' => $tag));
}

The second part of the addTag command requires an array, and according to the documentation uses the tag as the array key. I tried other keys such as text or data or tags to no avail.

Here is the issue....tags are assigned to a workspace. So the tags being copied from workspace-1/project-1/task-1 to workspace-2/project-1/task-1 would not work UNLESS the tag was first created in workspace-2.

Once the tag had been created in the destination workspace, the code worked flawlessly.
