Task State in Camunda 7 vs Camunda 8

Camunda 7 Topics

Does taskState exist in Camunda 7 REST? I see delegation state which is not equivalent for a taskState
https://docs.camunda.org/rest/camunda-bpm-platform/7.21-SNAPSHOT/#tag/Task/operation/getTask

But when I also look at Camunda 8 docs there is a task state in response.

Camunda 8 Response (see taskState)

Hi @myarlagadda,

I think you are looking something similar to TaskEntity#lifecycleState which is not expose currently in the APIs (Java/REST).

If you give us more details on what you are trying to achieve, we might find other options.

Best,
