# quotes.linesFromTasks

Turn the flat rate tasks a worker picked into quote lines for quotes.create: shared tasks, or tasks per good, better, best option. Uses the member price when the customer has an active maintenance plan. Writes nothing; send the lines the worker approves to quotes.create.

## When to use it

A flat rate task is a price book item with kind task: one price for the whole job, with an optional task_code, member_price_minor for customers on an active maintenance plan, est_minutes, warranty_note and parts (materials from the price book with a quantity, used for costing only; they do not take stock). Save tasks with pricebook.saveItem, or bring a book in with imports.historyPreview and imports.historyRun using kind flat_rate (presets jobber and housecall_pro; their column names are our best guess, so check the suggested mapping).
