Description

To edit a dashboard, you click on the cogwheel and there is a configure option. In tasks, the cogwheel gives you options to export, view task runs, or run the task, but no way to edit the task. You need to click on the task itself to be able to edit it. This seems inconsistent with the rest of the UI.

Research direction

Start by comparing the dashboard cogwheel's configure option with the task cogwheel actions, then trace the task entry point that opens editing. Done means the task cogwheel provides a consistent way to edit the task, while export, task runs, and run actions continue to work.
