If you want the attachment easily accessible, after attaching the email, drag the attachment to the task body, from either the reading pane or open message. When you create a task and the message is embedded in the task, any attachments remain embedded in the message. Is there an easy to insert the attachment? When I drag an email that has an attachment, I need to open the email to access the attachment. I create a lot of tasks by dragging emails to the tasks folder. If they use the Completed button in the ribbon, the update is sent immediately. Keep in mind that the users need to choose Completed (or use 100%) on the task form. They'll be able to enter notes in the notes field before saving the update.

Users have two options: they can click the Send Status Report button and add notes to the status report or open the task and mark it completed using the Status field or % Completed fields in the task header, not by clicking the Complete command in the toolbar or ribbon. When a user marks an assigned task as complete, there is no opportunity for them to comment in the update that is sent. If you use Create Unassigned copy, you can assign the copy to someone. Tip: If you need to assign the task to multiple people and want updates from all, create copies of the task and assign each copy to a different person. If you go to the Details page and Create an Unassigned Copy to edit, you won't get updates for the assigned copy. ( Ctrl+C,V) This makes an unassigned copy but keeps the original intact.

If you need a copy of the task for your records, you can copy and paste the task. You can't edit assigned tasks because once you assign it to someone, you no longer own the task. How can I edit a task assigned to someone else?
