# Fixing jobs

To fix a job, you link it to a changelist and submit the changelist. P4 Server automatically changes the value of a job’s status field to `closed` when the changelist is submitted.

Jobs can be linked to changelists in one of three ways:

- By setting the `JobView` field in the `p4 user` form to an expression that matches the job.
- With the `p4 fix` command.
- By editing the `p4 submit` form.

You can modify job status directly by editing the job, but if you close a job manually, there’s no association with the changelist that fixed the job. If you have altered your site’s job specification by deleting the `Status` field, jobs can still be linked to changelists, but status cannot be changed when the changelist is submitted. (In most cases, this is not a desired form of operation.) See the chapter on editing job specifications in the P4 Server Administration Documentation for more details.

To remove jobs from a changelist, issue the `p4 fix -d` command.
