Replying to myself and for the record I've almost worked it out.

This works :-D

But I haven't yet figured out a way of adding more than one field per 
task entry.

In the database if I create a task with say two or three fields, each 
field mapping is inside the "[{map1},{map2},{map3}]" - I tried doing 
that but is didn't seem to work at all, so right now I am just creating 
a separate task for each field.

It's not a huge deal but it would be nice to get to the bottom of this.

Cheers

Al
