# Update a task

`PATCH /api/v2/tasks/{id}`

Updates a task. Only the provided attributes are modified — rename it via `title`, change its workflow status via `workflow_status_id`, reassign via `assignee_id`, toggle `private`, or move it to a different task list via `task_list_id`. 
To reorder the task within its task list, use [`PATCH /tasks/{id}/reposition`](#tag/Tasks/operation/tasks-reposition-reposition). 
To shift the task and its blocking dependent tasks by working days, use [`PATCH /tasks/{id}/move_dependent`](#tag/Tasks/operation/tasks-move-dependent-move-dependent).
