private _nullRecord = objNull createDiaryRecord [];
if (player createDiaryRecord ["Diary", ["title", "description"]] isEqualTo _nullRecord) then { hint "Failed" };

When adding multiple diary records, be aware that they appear in reverse order. ie the first one you add will appear last and the last one you add will be first.

It seems that the task parameter has no effect in Arma 3 because the task entry in the briefing menu is created when the task itself was created.
