Edit a goal

Change a goal's title, description, owner, team, time period, target or other fields.

Last updated Nov 10, 2026

Edit a goal in its dialog, or change one field in place.

Who can do this: anyone who can edit the goal. By default that is its owners, and Org Admins and Owners. Team Admins can too when their team, or a subteam, owns the goal or has one of its owners. See Roles and permissions.

Edit in the dialog #

  1. Open the goal's ⋯ menu and choose Edit Goal. On a Metric or Project it says Edit Metric or Edit Project.
  2. Change any field, including a Metric's target.
  3. Click Update Goal (Update Metric, Update Project).
The edit goal dialog with the goal's title, description and pills, and Update Goal.
Success check
The goal shows the change. If it no longer matches the view's filters, a toast says so and the row leaves the list.

Change one field in place #

  • Name or description: click it in the panel, or double-click the name in a list. Click away to save.
  • Owner, Scope and time period: click the cell in the row, or the field in the goal page's properties bar.
  • Status, owner, time period and tags: right-click the row.

Edits don't add check-ins. To change many goals at once, see Edit goals in bulk.
