Locate the Commit Date of tasks and issues

You can find the Commit Date ot tasks and issues in the following areas of Workfront:

Notifications and updates triggered by changing the Commit Date

When a task or issue assignee manually changes a Commit Date to a date that is different than the Planned Completion Date set by the Project Owner, there are a number of notifications and updates that alert the Project Owner and other users of this change.

NOTE
Changes made to the Commit Date do not automatically change the planned dates, and changes made to the planned dates do not automatically change the Commit Date.

Manually setting the Commit Date for a task or issue triggers the following changes:

  • The Commit Date change populates in the System Activity and the All tabs of the Update section of the task or the issue.

    The change of the Commit Date displays in the Updates area of the task or issue when the Workfront administrator enables this update in the Updates Feeds area in Setup. For information, see System-tracked updates.

    If a Project Owner does not want to accept the change, we recommend that they comment back to the user proposing a new date using the Comments tab in the Updates section, to ask them to change the Commit Date back to the original Planned Date, or select a new date.

    If a Project Owner accepts the change, they can manually adjust the Planned Completion Date to match the Commit Date offered by the user assigned to the item by editing the task or the issue.

    You must have access to manage the task or the issue to edit them.

    TIP
    You can ask your system or group administrator to add the Commit Date field to your Summary panel, or header to make it easier to update.
    For more information, see the following articles:
  • The Projected Completion Date of the task or issue is set to the same date because the task now has a more accurate indication of when it is likely to be completed.

    For more information about the Projected Completion Date, see Overview of the Projected Completion Date for projects, tasks, and issues.

  • The Project Owner is notified in the Notifications area that a task or issue commit date changed.

    TIP
    The notification that the Commit Date has changed is sent to the Project Owner only when the Workfront administrator enables displaying the Commit Date in the Updates Feeds area in Setup. For information, see System-tracked updates.

For information about the additional functionality that is available when updating a work item, see Update work.

For information about updating Commit Dates for tasks and issues, see Update Commit Dates on tasks and issues.
