Changing tasks
Before the task has been started you may change all task specifications by

selecting 
in the action menu of the task. The action form contains all sections that we
have described above where you may
correct your specifications.
You may also change certain specifications directly by
calling e.g.

deadline of a task (e.g. using
)
you have to enter an empty date.
Once a task has been started, the task specifications that
may be changed depend on the state of the task (an overview of the states of a
task is given in 8.1.8 Handling exceptional task
situations). In states where the task may be started again, all
specifications may be changed. In other states, some specifications may still be
changed, e.g. in state requested you as requestor may request additional
results by entering further output data, but you may not change the input data
or the contractors. The action form ‘Change task’ offers all changes
that are possible in the current state of the task as do the specific actions
offered in the
menu.
