Abstract
A method and system for editing the assignments for a task in a project management software environment. The editing can be preformed in a dropdown grid, which is a grid that includes a name column, including a checkbox, and a total hours column. The dropdown grid further includes cells in the name column and the total work column. The user can select a cell in the dropdown grid by using arrow keys on a keyboard or by clicking a mouse button. The user may assign an individual to an assignment or remove an individual from an assignment by checking or unchecking a checkbox in a name column cell. In addition, the user may edit the amount of total work for an assignment by selecting the total work cell corresponding to the assignment and entering a total work value.
