Unable to update the task in Asana under a project: Getting "parent" error.

I am having a tricky time getting Zapier to pull certain data from Asana and send it to AdaptiveWork. I can:

Create a project in Asana and send it to AdaptiveWork.
Create a task in Asana and send it to AdaptiveWork.
But I cannot seem to update a task under a project - I hit a a ‘parent’ error, and no options I choose pulled from Asana seem to work. As such I cannot update anything, but only create new tasks (orphaned) which makes the integration a one-off and not consistently useful.
