Overview

This node operation updates an existing work package in OpenProject. It allows users to modify various fields of a work package such as subject, description, status, priority, assignee, start date, due date, and estimated time. This operation is useful for project managers or team members who need to keep work package details current as project requirements evolve. For example, updating the status to 'In Progress' or changing the assignee to a different team member.

Use Case Examples

1. Updating the status of a work package to 'Closed' after completion.
2. Changing the priority of a work package to 'Critical' to indicate urgency.
3. Assigning a work package to a new user when responsibilities shift.
