Updating a Work Item

Overview

Zymmr uses a dynamic, inline editing model that allows you to update work item details quickly and efficiently. Instead of a separate "edit" mode, you can modify most fields directly in the detailed view, with changes saved automatically.

1. Finding the Work Item to Update

First, locate the work item you wish to modify. You can find work items in several ways:

• Project Boards: Navigate to a project's Backlog or Active Sprint Board.
• Global Search: Use the main search bar in the top navigation to search by key or title.
• Search Page: Use the dedicated Filter Functionality on the work items page to build a specific query.

2. How to Update Work Item Details

Once you've located the work item, the editing process is seamless.

1. Open the Detailed View: Click on the work item's Key (e.g., ZYM-123) or its title to open the full details panel or page.
2. Click Directly on a Field: Hover over a field you want to change (like Status, Assignee, or Priority) and click on it.
3. Make Your Change: An input control (e.g., a text box, dropdown menu, or date picker) will appear. Select the new value or type your changes.
4. Save Automatically: Click outside the field or press the Enter key. Your change is saved instantly. There is no "Save" button to click.

Activity Log

Rest assured, every change is tracked. The full history of all updates—including who made the change, what was changed, and when—is automatically recorded in the work item's Activity Log.

Permissions Matter

Your ability to edit certain fields may be limited by your project role. If you are unable to modify a field, it is likely due to the project's configured.
