Updating & editing issues¶

Issues change as work moves forward. You can edit almost any field on an issue at any time, and Specivo keeps a record of what changed.

Change the status¶

The most common update is moving an issue along its lifecycle. Set the status to In Progress when you start, and to Resolved when you finish. Resolving an issue sets % done to 100 automatically. See Statuses & workflow for the full set of statuses and how they drive the board.

Reassign¶

Change the Assignee to hand the issue to someone else. The new assignee is responsible for it from then on; add watchers if other people still need to follow along.

Edit the subject and description¶

Click into the subject or description to fix wording, add detail, or restructure. The description is Markdown, so formatting, code blocks, and @username mentions all work.

Set % done and other fields¶

• Nudge % done as work progresses (0–100). It moves to 100 when the issue is resolved or closed.
• Adjust priority, category, target version, sprint, start/due dates, and the estimate as plans firm up.
• Fill in any metadata fields the project defines.

Everything is recorded¶

Editing the core fields of an issue — status, assignee, priority, dates, % done, and so on — is logged in the issue's history, with who changed what and when. Nothing is silently overwritten, so you can always see how an issue got to where it is.
