# Field Update on Complete/Reject

### **Field Update on Complete/Reject**

**Field Updates on Complete/Reject**

This page is a continuation of the **Task Creation & Management** page, but the information here can also be used independently/for existing Workflow.

When Editing an existing Workflow Task, an additional module labeled **Field Updates Associated With (Task Title)** displays. Designate Field Updates that occur when the Task is Completed or Rejected in this area. Click **Add New Update** to add an update.

Designate whether the Update is for when the Task is Completed or when the Task is Rejected. Then, select the **Field** that is being Updated. After selecting the Field, the pop-up will reload to allow you to designate the new **Value**. In the example above, we set the Task to Update the Status to Active if Completed, or to Update the Status to Declined if Rejected. Use the **Delete** or **Edit** buttons to Delete or Edit the Field Updates.

Please note that field updates are not limited to one of each.

When handling multi-step Workflow, a good general practice is to use multiple Workflow Records, where the initial Workflow will Update a Field so that the new Value is a Criteria of the next Workflow, triggering it. This can be repeated until the Workflow is complete.

A User Defined Status can appear in the Task Side Menu, even if it is not set to Show On Grid if it is a Task Result for a workflow.
