# Updating Project Fields
## Purpose
Edits project item data using the `gh project item-edit` command.
## 1. Safety & Verification
- **Mandatory Context**: Ensure `gh-verifying-context` has been run and confirmed by the user.
- **Human-in-the-Loop**: You MUST present the proposed field update (e.g., "Moving Status to Done") and the target item to the user before execution.
- **Verification**: Ensure the project and field IDs are correct by listing them first if not certain.
## 2. Common Workflows
### Workflow: Update Text Field
Sets a value for a text field.
**Command**:
```bash
gh project item-edit --id <item-id> --field-id <field-id> --project-id <project-id> --text "new value"
```
### Workflow: Update Status (Single Select)
Moves an item to a different status column.
**Command**:
```bash
gh project item-edit --id <item-id> --field-id <field-id> --project-id <project-id> --single-select-option-id <option-id>
```
