Editing a Task

Tasks on all of the boards have an edit link. Additionally, clicking on the task's Ticket ID will also open up the editing form. The editing form opens in a modal window by default, but you can right-click and open in a new browser tab as well.

There are a large number of fields on the edit screen, most of which are optional.

• Name (required): The name of the task, typically a short description.
• Priority (required): The priority of the task.
• Estimate: The estimate of effort required. The options in the select widget will depend on the estimation type that has been configured for the project.
• Watch/Unwatch link: If email notifications have been enabled, this allows users to "watch" a task, which means that they will receive email notifications of changes to the task. A user who creates a task is automatically added to the watch list, as is the user that a task is assigned to.
• Description: The long description of the task.
• Assigned to: The user that the task is assigned to. There is a link next to it to quickly assign to self.
• Reported by: The user who reported the task.
• Tags: A list of tags (from the Tags Taxonomy) that apply to the ticket.
• Links: A list of links (internal or external) that are relevant to the task.
• Images: Images that are relevant to the task.
• Related to: A list of other tasks that this task relates to in some way.
• Log: If you click to open this section, there are four tabs inside it:
  • Comments: Allows you to add a comment to a task. Clicking "Add Comment" will insert the comment without reloading the page.
  • Changes: A changelist for the task.
  • Work logs: This allows you to record work done on the task.
  • All: This shows a list of all logs for the task.
