How can I set the record ID for each instance of a button generated by an iteration?

I am adding a button that opens a modal window to add a task to a specific "Objective".  There is an add Task button next to every "Objective" that is displayed, but I'm not sure how I can pull the record Id of the specific objective the button sits next to so I can set the WhatId field of the task to that specific objective... Any ideas here? 

Thanks in advance.

We can get the Objective id by using below code. However while populated the name field on the button you haven't use merge field expression.
i.e., {!obj.Id} instead you used obj.Id
Using event.getSource().get("v.name"); 

<lightning:button label="+Task" class="slds-button slds-text-body_regular"onclick="{!c.taskopenmodal}" name="obj.Id"/>  change the highlited to merge field expression.
