The property that I could not update had a default value set in the model. Once I removed the default value, the property is updated correctly.

While this solved the problem, I question whether this is proper behavior. My assumption was that by the time the task-create event fires, that the properties had already received their default values. In that I can read property values (e.g., taskId) in the task-create event, I assumed that other properties had already received their default values. It would seem that the default values are assigned after the task-create event so therefore, the values I had set were overwritten.
