Editing Tasks

You can edit tasks depending on their status and your security rights. For example, you can edit a task description, custom attributes, or end date.

For an Open task in a Task List, you cannot edit the start date, because the task has already started. You can only change the duration or the end date. You also cannot edit instructions, questions, assignee, or approver, and you cannot add, delete, or edit predecessors. You can reassign the assignee or approver from the Task Actions workflow.

  To edit a task:

  1. From the Calendar, Gantt, or Task List view, select the task that you want to edit.

  2. Right-click on the task and select Edit, or from a Task List, you can also click Actions, and then select Edit.

  3. Edit the task information.

  4. When you finish making changes, click Save and Close to save your changes.
