General Task list not returned by the API

Hi,

I can not get the General Task-list in the list of tasklists through the API documented here :

https://www.zoho.com/projects/developers/tasklists-api.html#alink2

Following are the steps :

1) Log in to ZOHO Projects and create a new project.

2) Click on the "New Task" button.

3) I can see the 2 options in the " Task List" dropdown. Internal -> General and External -> General

Now I want to get these Tasklists through API but the API does not returns any tasklist when you have no other tasklist created or there is no task in these taskslists.

I can get the General tasklist if there are any tasks inside the General Tasklist, but otherwise the API doesn't return the General Tasklist.

If I delete the task inside the General Tasklist I can still get the General tasklist in the API response.

If I delete the General Tasklist, I again can not get the General tasklist in the API response, but if I try to add a task manually by logging into my account, I can see the General tasklist in the " Task List" dropdown.

Please suggest how to get the General Tasklist through the API when there are no tasks inside the General tasklist.

Thanks,

Lokesh
