Yes, you do it too.  I cloned an object and then added it to a task.  Now that I see the wrong text displayed with the object, I want to correct it on the task.  I can edit the object and correct the object's description, but that does not update the description on the task.  Which option do I use to correct it?

Hi David, 

I think you would have to check the object out to development and modify the object, then F3 and change it, then recompile.

Kevin, 

Yes, that does change the object description for the programs and files. It does not change the test displayed on the object description within the task.  When I press F11 until the Text column displays, I still see the incorrect text.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you need.  I attached a document with what I thought you wanted but I may be off base.

Hmm.  Guess I was not patience enough or needed to get out of the task and back in. It all looks correct now.  I wonder why it did not before?  Thank you for making me look again. :)
