There is considerable confusion relating to a Task's "ID", it's "Name", it's "Task Name", and it's "Form Name".

Please consider making the following change to names in the product and documentation:

• Everywhere that refers to "Task ID" (numeric) change to Task Instance ID
• Everywhere that uses "Task Name" or "Form Name" (string) change to Task ID (and make this field consistently available in REST APIs that return task and task instance information)
• The Task Name should consistently be the text name that is shown in the diagram.

This would make this consistent with the nomenclature for processes. Process Instance IDs are numeric IDs (e.g. 1234) and Process IDs are strings (e.g. "sales.quote"). Therefore after this change, you would have a Task Instance ID (e.g. 1234) with a Task ID (e.g. "set-price") and a Task Name (e.g. "Set Price").

Thank you for considering this request.
