REST API script creating task twice for particular assignment group

[Shree Nag]

Hello,

Appreciate your help in advance.

I have scripted API that is for creating 2 catalog tasks for 2 assignment groups(lets call it A & B) for a requested Item from an integration.

While the  two catalog tasks is being created for both A & B assignment group,  once the catalog task on A is closed complete, another one is being created for assignment group A, with no short description or description.

The catalog task created for assignment group B is closing without creating another duplicate.

I need to stop the second catalog task being created for assignment group A

This is happening only for requests created through this third party integration requests.

I have posted the RESP API scripts here, please help me point why there is second task created for assignment A after being closed complete and what should be corrected to prevent it from being created.
