Output
The task outputs Metadata that is equivalent to the output of the appropriate task that would
normally create the items, or a JSON Record Data List (see the REST API Cookbook and
"JSON Record Data List example" on page82).
Note
The result of a Retrieve Items task can be used with the "Create Job" on page504 task if it is a
Content Item or Content Set, but it cannot be used in combination with a Job Preset.
Note
Content Creation tasks accept Metadata as well as JSON data as input.
