Edit a task

Goal

Update task fields, status, assignee, estimates, and billable flag.

Who it is for

Users with pm.manage.

Preconditions

• Task exists; pm.manage.
• Required-field policies still apply on save.

Steps

1. From Tasks list or project detail, open Edit task (/tasks/:id/edit) or edit inline where available.
2. Change name, description, status, priority, assignee, milestone, dates, estimate, billable, or task type.
3. Maintain checklist items and comments on the task detail as needed.
4. Save. Tasks can be deleted when your process allows (pm.manage).

Result

Updates show on list/kanban. Setting status to Done records completion time. Project progress updates when the project uses From tasks tracking.

Hard stops

• Same required-field 422s as create.
• Deleting a milestone that still has tasks → 422 milestone_has_tasks (reassign tasks first).
