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.

NOTE
You can ask your system or group administrator to add the Commit Date field to your Summary panel, to make it easier to update it in various areas of Workfront.
For more information, see the following articles:

  1. 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.

  2. (Conditional and optional) If your Workfront or group administrator added the Commit Date to your task or issue header, click theCommit Datefield in the header, then select a date from the calendar. If the Commit Date is not in the header, proceed with the following steps.

  3. Click Task Details or Issue Details in the left panel.

  4. Click Overview to expand it.

  5. Update the Commit Date field.

  6. Click Save Changes.

    The following happens after making this change:

    • The Commit Date and the Planned Completion date of the task or issue are no longer the same.

      Instead, the Commit Date and the Projected Completion Date of the task or issue become the same.

    • The Project Owner is notified in a Workfront in-app notification that you have suggested a new Commit Date for the task or issue.

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

      For information about the notifications and updates that are triggered by this change, see the section “Notifications and updates triggered by changing the Commit Date” in the article Commit Date overview.
