We are having a problem with updating the To Do field in backlog
items. Sometimes the field can be edited, others not. It seems like if
the backlog item is not assigned to a sprint that it can't be updated.
Sometimes, even if it is in a sprint, it still can't be updated.

Ideally we would like to be able to update with remaining effort even
if not currently in a sprint. We have some backlog items that we
worked partially in a previous sprint, but which aren't part of
current plans because higher priority items take up all available
resources. We changed the sprint field to empty for those so that we
didn't have them assigned to past sprints. Perhaps that wasn't the
best thing.

1. Can we update To Do for items not assigned to a sprint?
2.. Why do some items in the current sprint not allowing updating To
Do?

I checked with the sprint planning guy. He had not activated the
sprint. He did so, but it doesn't seem to make any difference. There
are two fields that I can't update in the backlog item I'm looking at:

Detail Estimate:
To Do:

Ah. We haven't been creating tasks for the Backlog items. At this
stage, I don't know that we would want to go back and create tasks for
our BL items.

Thanks for the info.
