How to assign Owner of a task activity through web API?

I'm wondering how to assign a Task activity to a system user. My goal is to set up around 10 automated tasks for each new Lead so sales agents do not have to add them every time manually. I am using Dynamics CRM Online and the web API.

I have looked all around and I have tried most of the options, which I thought I narrowed down to using this:

newTask["owninguser_task@odata.bind] = "/systemusers("{userGuid}")";

But that doesn't seem to work. Everything else seems to be creating correctly, but it is defaulting to setting me as the owner of the task. I've also tried most other series of keys with no luck. I have also looked through my metadata and found that this "owninguser_task" is the correct key to use for this.

That did the trick, I definitely tried that earlier though and is why I made the post. I guess if I ask the question then my problem will be solved either way. Thanks!

Hello,

Did you try this?

newTask["ownerid@odata.bind] = "/systemusers(userGuid)";
