Connects a component item (epic, feature, or task) to an existing task in the task management system. If the item already has a task connection, it will be disconnected first before establishing the new connection. Component tags are automatically merged into the task's tags. To disconnect an item from a task without connecting to a new one, pass null or omit the taskId in the request body.
