Setting the final status for a task

Set the final status for a task to prevent further changes to the task's status.

Requirements: You must have a project role that includes the Admin Tasks user right.

When you set the final status for a task, other users cannot change the overall status of the task, even if they have not set their own status for the task.

Set the final status for a task

1. In the Tasks view, select a task or individual elements associated with a task.

   The status of each selected element is updated to Final by <Your Name>.
   The status of tasks that are assigned to other users changes to finalized. The users cannot make additional changes to the task status.
