Is there a way to programmatically change bamboo tasks (like enable and disable)

i noticed the details of tasks are stored in xml_definition_data.  is there a plugin that allows for disabling or enabling programmatically?

thanks

Hi @lance_lyons

There is no public API to change this flag directly, but I see two other options that may help:

1. Use Bamboo specs. In specs the following code part would disable the task:

   .stages(new Stage("Default Stage")
       .jobs(new Job("Default Job", new BambooKey("JOB1"))
           .tasks(new ScriptTask().enabled(false)

   More details about specs can be found here: Bamboo Specs - Atlassian Documentation.
2. Use the Conditional tasks for Bamboo plugin to allow you enabling/disabling tasks based on variables or users running them.
   More details about this plugin can be found in this post:
   How we can configure job with conditional tasks for bamboo plugin? - Atlassian Community

I hope those options can help you.
