You can edit a task to update the assignee, task type, system type, due date, or description at any time, from both the Tasks page and from within a Project page.
Steps
- Go to the Tasks List tab on the project page, or open Tasks from the sidebar
- Click Task Actions (...) on the task card or list row
- Select Edit Details
- Update any of the following fields:
- Add an email or name—change the assignee by typing a new name or email and selecting from the dropdown
- Due date—extend, shorten, or remove the deadline. Options are 7 Days, 30 Days, 60 Days, No Limit, or Custom (enter a number of days between 1 and 365). Changing an Expired task's due date to a future date does not automatically reset the status—the assignee will need to update it.
- Description—add or update notes for the assignee
5. Click Update to save your changes
Note: Completed tasks cannot be edited—Edit Details is greyed out in the Task Actions menu. They can still be deleted. If you need to continue the work, create a new task.
