Task metadata types
Task metadata can accept most Puppet data types.
Some Puppet types can not be represented as
JSON, such as
Hash[Integer, String], Object, or Resource. Do
not use these in tasks, because they can never be matched.| Type | Description |

Pattern[/\A\w+\Z/]
|

null values. Tasks have no
required nullable values. |
