Update Commit Dates on tasks and issues

Updating the Commit Date is identical for tasks and issues.

  1. Go to a task or issue that you are assigned to as the Task Owner.

    For more information about finding out who the Task Owner for an issue or task is, see the section Edit tasks in the article Edit tasks.

  2. Click Work on itin the task or issue header

    Or

    Click Start Task or Start Issue if the Work on it button has been customized in your environment to indicate that you are now working on the work item.

    At this time, the Commit Date and the Planned Completion Date of the task or issue are the same.

  3. (Optional) If you clicked Start Task or Start Issue, click Undo in the lower-left corner of the screen. The Commit Date is removed.

    For information about replacing the Work On It button with a Start button, see Replace the Work On It button with a Start button.

    TIP

    Or

    Click Task Details or Issue Details in the left panel, then double click Commit Date and select a new date from calendar, then click Save Changes.

    • The Commit Date and the Planned Completion date are no longer the same.

    • The changes are saved automatically when you select a new date from the Updates area.

    • The Project Owner is notified that you have suggested a new Commit Date for the task or issue and can, at this time, update the Planned Completion Date of the task or issue to match the Commit Date you suggested.
