Add a "Undo" feature in "Activity Log"

I’d like to request an “Undo” capability directly within the Activity Log.

The problem: The Activity Log does a great job of showing what changed and who changed it — but it’s currently read-only. When something is accidentally modified or deleted (a due date changed, a task moved, a field cleared, an assignee removed), there’s no quick way to reverse it. Today you have to manually recreate the previous state, which is time-consuming and error-prone, especially on busy projects with many collaborators.

The request: Add an “Undo” action next to entries in the Activity Log so users can revert a specific change back to its prior state with one click.

Why it would help:

  • Faster recovery from accidental edits or deletions
  • Fewer mistakes — no need to remember and manually re-enter the previous value
  • More confidence for teams making frequent changes
  • Clear audit trail — the Activity Log already knows the before/after state, so undo is a natural extension

Ideal behavior:

  • Undo available per individual log entry (revert a single change)
  • Optional confirmation before reverting
  • The undo action itself is recorded in the Activity Log for traceability
  • Works across common changes: due dates, assignees, custom fields, task moves, and deletions

Thanks for considering — this would be a meaningful quality-of-life improvement for teams managing high-volume projects.

Hi @Manal_Naqvi , welcome to the forum!

Regarding deleted tasks specifically, you can currently use Advanced Search to locate and restore them, as long as “Delete permanently” was not selected.

That said, I do like the idea of an Undo feature. However, I think it would be important to limit the ability to undo a change to the user who originally made it, allowing them to review and confirm the action before it is reverted.
