Research direction

Locate the tasks-table description in the data dictionary and read the current obj_id wording alongside the obj_type entries. Update the description to identify subscriptions as another possible source table, then verify that the wording clearly explains how tasks connect to subscriptions.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The obj_id field on the tasks table is described as the "primary key of the relevant item, in either the workbooks or datasources tables, as indicated by obj_type." For subscriptions though, obj_id is the primary key in the subscriptions table. Tying tasks to subscriptions is extremely difficult without that detail.
