Prerequisites
Before you can edit the Commit Date of a task or issue, you must be assigned to the task or issue whose Commit Date you need to update.
Update Commit Dates on tasks and issues
You can update the Commit Date of a task or issue in the following areas of Workfront:
-
The Details section of a task or issue
-
The task or issue header
Your Workfront or group administrator must add the Commit Date to the task or issue header of your layout template to view it from the task or issue page.
For information, see Customize object headers using a layout template.
Updating the Commit Date is identical for tasks and issues.
-
Go to a task or issue that you are assigned to as the 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.
-
(Conditional and optional) If your Workfront or group administrator added the Commit Date to your task or issue header, click the Commit Date field in the header, then select a date from the calendar. If the Commit Date is not in the header, proceed with the following steps.
-
Click Task Details or Issue Details in the left panel.
-
Click Overview to expand it.
-
Update the Commit Date field.
-
