After a group task has been copied to a
guild
member's own task list, it can be edited in some ways (e.g., the member can add checklist items or notes). The member cannot edit critical details such as the task title, difficulty, due date, etc. The
guild
leader can edit certain aspects of a group task after the task has been created (e.g., title, difficulty, due date, etc) and the changes will be synced to the personal copies of the task that any guild members already have. This is similar to how [[Challenges|challenge]] tasks can be edited by the challenge owner. One significant difference between challenge tasks and group plan tasks is that for group tasks, both
guild
leader and
guild
member can add checklist items, without each player's items overwriting the other items.

If
you create a new guild through the [https://habitica.com/#/options/groups/group-
plans
Group Plans page], the normal four-gem cost for the guild is
not
applied. The guild is created
with
no gems in its guild bank and four gems are not deducted from your Habitica account
.
However if you add
a group plan
to an existing guild, you do
not
receive
a
refund of the gems that you used to create the guild, but the gems do remain in the guild bank for you to use
for
challenges,
as
normal
.

Group plans are not linked with [[subscription]]s. If you want to have a subscription and also add a group plan to your guild or party, you need to buy them separately, and you can later cancel either one without the other being affected. If you are a subscriber, you can become a member of any existing group plan without your subscription being affected and the group's leader needs to pay the normal US$3 per month for your membership in the plan.
