Short answer

How can I change multiple Fieldwire task statuses at once?

Your AI client uses the Fieldwire MCP to find specific tasks and apply new statuses to them in one go. You can target tasks by name, ID, or specific criteria to update them all at once. This lets you clear out old items or move entire project phases forward instantly.

Task outcomes

Where your updates land.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of finding and changing task data.

SYNCED

Updated task lists

The AI applies the new status to every task you specified. Your Fieldwire project reflects these changes immediately.

FILTERED

Targeted task groups

The AI finds only the tasks that match your description. You don't have to hunt for individual task IDs manually.

PENDING

Human review needed

If your command is vague, the AI will ask for clarification. You decide which specific tasks get updated when the intent is unclear.

VERIFIED

Status confirmation

The AI confirms which tasks were successfully moved. You get a clear summary of the changes made in your chat window.

The workflow

What your AI does when the command arrives.

The AI moves from identifying your specific tasks to executing the status changes.

  1. Identify tasks

    The AI scans your Fieldwire project to find the specific tasks you mentioned in your prompt.

    list_tasks

  2. Group targets

    The AI organizes the found tasks into a single batch ready for modification.

    list_tasks

  3. Apply changes

    The AI sends the new status instructions to Fieldwire for every task in that group.

  4. Confirm results
