Reassign a task or change its type
Updated September 30, 2026
Hand a task to someone else, move it to a group, or fix its task type. You can do both in one step.
Steps
- Open the task from the board.
- Click Reassign / Change type.
- Under Reassign to, pick a person or a group.
- To change the type too, use Also change task type? Pick a new type, No type, or leave it on — Keep current type —.
- Add a Reason for reassignment if it helps. This is optional.
- Click Confirm.
You can also change only the type: leave Reassign to alone, pick a new type and click Confirm.
What happens next
- The change is logged in the task's chat, with your reason if you gave one.
- If you reassigned it to a person, they get a notification.
- If the task was still Not reviewed, it moves to In progress.
Tip
A written reason is included when someone copies the task into your PIMS. Bare reassignments without a reason are left out of the copy.
