@require_http_methods(["POST"])
def pm_create_task(request, project_id):
    """Project Manager create task"""
    user = request.user
    
    if not hasattr(user, 'profile') or user.profile.role != 'project_manager':
        return redirect('staff_login')
    
    project = get_object_or_404(Project, project_id=project_id, project_manager=user)
    
    try:
        title = request.POST.get('title')
        description = request.POST.get('description')
        priority = request.POST.get('priority', 'medium')
        due_date = request.POST.get('due_date')
        assigned_to_id = request.POST.get('assigned_to')
        
        # Create task
        task = Task.objects.create(
            project=project,
            title=title,
            description=description,
            priority=priority,
            due_date=due_date if due_date else None,
            assigned_by=user
        )
        
        # Assign to employee if selected
        if assigned_to_id:
            assigned_user = get_object_or_404(User, id=assigned_to_id)
            task.assigned_to = assigned_user
            task.save()
            
            # Create notification for assigned employee
            Notification.objects.create(
                user=assigned_user,
                title='New Task Assigned',
                message=f'You have been assigned a new task: {task.title}',
                type='project_assigned',
                link=f'/employee/tasks/{task.task_id}/'
            )
        
        # Log activity
        ActivityLog.objects.create(
            user=user,
            action='Task Created',
            model_name='Task',
            object_id=str(task.task_id),
            description=f'Created task: {task.title} for project: {project.title}'
        )
        
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error creating task: {e}")
    
    return redirect('pm_project_detail', project_id=project_id)
```
