Here’s an example of manually configuring a task within a task and then running it.
https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib/issues/118#issuecomment-8482130
grunt.registerMultiTask('multicss', 'Minify CSS files in a folder', function() {
var count = 0;
grunt.file.expandFiles(this.data).forEach(function(file) {
var property = 'mincss.css'+count+'.files';
var value = {};
value[file] = file;
grunt.config(property, value);
grunt.log.writeln("Minifying CSS "+file);
count++;
});
grunt.task.run('mincss');
});
