How do I update a task?
John Reekie, 4 Sep 1999

Tasks can be updated directly on the task view page. As long as you have permission to modify a task, your view of that task will include menus showing the task status and who it is assigned to. To change the status or assign it to someone else, change the menus (or the text fields underneath) and press the Change task status button.

Each task has a history, which is displayed underneath the description of the task. When you update a task, you can also enter text in the field labeled "Your comments" -- this text wil be added to the history of the task.

To change the description of a task, view the task and press the "Edit this task" link in the left-hand margin. On the task editing page, you will be able to change the task status and assignee, change the task's title and description, and add an entry to the task history. Press the Update task button to make these changes take effect.
