ffxiv_task_assist.add vs ffxiv_task_assist:add

i had it ffxiv_task_assist:add

Code:

function wim.ModuleInit()
  d(TableSize(ffxiv_task_assist.process_elements)) -- prints 0
  ke_ntcne = ml_element:create( "ntcne", c_ntcne, e_ntcne, 28)
  ffxiv_task_assist:add(    ke_ntcne, ffxiv_task_assist.process_elements)
  d(TableSize(ffxiv_task_assist.process_elements)) -- prints 1
end

it is added.
but its never checked or used?

im guessing this is where it checks the cne list:

Code:

function ml_cne_hub.eval_elements(elementList)
    for k, elem in pairs( elementList ) do
        if (gLogCNE == "1") then
            ml_debug( "Evaluating:" .. tostring( elem.name ) )
        end
        elem.eval = elem:evaluate()
    if (gLogCNE == "1") then
            ml_debug( elem.name .. " evaluation result:" .. tostring( elem.eval ) )
        end
    end
end

i dont know Lua at all but it looks to me
this function is called once only with the instanced version of the object.

Code:

function ml_task:Process()
    if (TableSize(self.process_elements) > 0) then
        ml_cne_hub.clear_queue()
        ml_cne_hub.eval_elements(self.process_elements) --  <<< here

        ml_cne_hub.queue_to_execute()
        ml_cne_hub.execute()
        return false
    else
        ml_debug("no elements in process table")
    end
end

in this thread a dev said he added specific code. i dont see it ?
Is there a new way to do it ?

EDIT:
btw i used to add it like this

Code:

init_ntcne = false
function wim.doPulse( Event, ticks )
  if ml_task_hub:CurrentTask() and not init_ntcne then
    ke_ntcne = ml_element:create( "ntcne", c_ntcne, e_ntcne, 28)
    ml_task_hub:CurrentTask():add(ke_ntcne, ml_task_hub:CurrentTask().process_elements)
    init_ntcne = true
  end
end

which is basically waiting for a task to be created ( by press bot enabled etc.. )
and then add it to that.
but i would much rather have the solution the dev mentioned in this thread
