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

  1. Open the task from the board.
  2. Click Reassign / Change type.
  3. Under Reassign to, pick a person or a group.
  4. To change the type too, use Also change task type? Pick a new type, No type, or leave it on — Keep current type —.
  5. Add a Reason for reassignment if it helps. This is optional.
  6. 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.
