Implement Task Editing Feature for Task Authors

Description

This task involves implementing functionality that allows task authors to edit the title and description of their existing tasks. The feature should include proper authorization checks to ensure only the original author can make modifications, along with updating the task's modification timestamp upon successful edits.

User Story Reference

As a task author, I want to edit the title and description of a task I created so that I can keep task information accurate and up to date.

Technical Requirements

  • Add edit functionality to the task detail view for authorized users
  • Implement authorization checks to verify user is the task author
  • Update the task's modification timestamp on successful edits
  • Display appropriate error messages for unauthorized users
  • Ensure proper validation of input fields

Acceptance Criteria

  • Task authors can edit both title and description of their tasks
  • Non-authors are prevented from editing tasks
  • System displays error message when unauthorized users attempt to edit
  • Modification timestamp updates automatically when changes are saved
  • Input validation is implemented for both title and description fields
  • Changes persist in the database after saving

BDD Scenarios

  1. Author edits task title and description
  2. Non-author attempts to edit task title

Technical Notes
