Errors While creating an Email Activity?

In 1402 Cloud for Customer we re-architected the activity BO backend to make it more lean and simple. You will notice there are 2 "activity" BOs in the repository explorer, one that has been "deprecated" and the other "active". I have a working sample using the sample provided in the repository explorer to create activity tasks via a custom action. What I noticed is that if you don't reference the right "activity" you will inadvertently write code that will reference the deprecated activity. Your code will activate, but will not work. Once I referenced the right "activity" and then corrected the code (the new activity BO structure is different so the type-ahead code completion results are different) everything worked correctly.

As an FYI, pre 1402 ABSL code and UI designer configuration for any activity related SDK work (emails, tasks, appointments, phone calls) will need to go through this refactoring to use the new activity BO. The old activity BO is deprecated and custom business logic/custom UI referencing this old activity BO will not work anymore in 1402.

Here is my sample

/*

Add your scripting language implementation for:

Business Object: ServiceContract

Node: Root

Action: CreateActivityTask

Note:

- To access the elements of the business object node,

use path expressions, for example, this.<element name>.

- To use code completion, press CTRL+J.
