Change a task's title or outcome

Updated View as MarkdownOpen in ChatGPTOpen in Claude

Changes the outcome sentence of a task. The acceptance criteria and required checks do not change here; they only get stricter, through a contract change.

Usage

overlane task update task-id [--title TEXT] [--outcome TEXT] [--dry-run]

Arguments

Argument Required Description
task-id yes The task to change

Flags

Flag Type Required Default Description
--title string no The new title (up to 120 characters)
--outcome string no The new outcome sentence (up to 500 characters)
--dry-run boolean no Print the requests and file changes this command would make, then stop. Needs no credentials.

Examples

overlane task update task-7 --outcome "Add CSV and JSON export"
overlane task update task-7 --title "Export reports"

Behavior

  • Effect: write (changes local or hosted state).
  • Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
  • Supports --dry-run: yes. Accepts --force: no.
  • Machine-readable description: overlane schema task update.

Result

With --json (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema’s shape on stdout.
