# Validate Recurring Npts

POST https://api.projectmanager.com/api/data/npt/{taskId}/recurring/settings/validate
Content-Type: application/json

Reviews potential updates to a Recurring Non-Project Task and report back on the list of changes that would
occur if this Recurring Non-Project Task was updated with these settings.
            
When making changes to a Recurring Npt, you may want to investigate the consequences of your changes first
before finalizing the changes.  You can use the Validate Recurring Npts API to examine these changes.  When
you are happy with the changes, call Update Recurring Npts to complete them.
            
A Recurring Task is one that must be completed on a specific regular frequency, such as Daily, Weekly, Monthly,
or Yearly.  To create a Recurring Task, you must first create a regular Task with the necessary information,
then call one of the Create Recurring Task APIs.  To remove an instance of a Recurring Task, call Delete
Recurring Task and specify one or more instances of the Recurring Task.
