# Saving task settings
<a name="CHAP_Tasks.CustomizingTasks.TaskSettings.Saving"></a>

You can save task settings as a JSON file in case you want to reuse the settings for another task. You can find tasks settings to copy to a JSON file under the **Overview details** section of a task.

**Note**  
While reusing task settings for other tasks, remove any `CloudWatchLogGroup` and `CloudWatchLogStream` attributes. Otherwise, the following error is given: SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGE:Task Settings CloudWatchLogGroup or CloudWatchLogStream cannot be set on create.

For example, the following JSON file contains settings saved for a task.
