Please add this.
Here’s the specific scenario. I have a project that is shared by multiple engineering teams. There is a “due date” field for the project in the portfolio, but that “due date” does not matter since we need to communicate the individual due dates (tracked as milestones in a project) in another portfolio.
Needed as well!
This would be great to have (I know this is an older entry, but still). We manage our editorial calendar as a project with tasks, and that works well, but portfolios work by department for reporting purposes, so the editorial work tends to not get fed into the overall work we do for those departments.
I added a vote here as well.
Portfolios have a lot of potential but like other commenters I too have struggled with do I really need a “whole project” for this relatively minor initiative and often fallback to using Tasks as Psudeo Projects in a project I name “Project Portfolio.”
While we hope and wait, I’ll take a look at the workaround/kludge of treating these as milestones in a project called Minor Updates or something similar.
Adding my voice to the chorus on this one. For context, this would be most useful when trying to collate my organization’s work all into one portfolio. Some work is task-level and doesn’t make sense to align with a project, but all the work should be represented in the portfolio.
Adding my voice about this topic as well- this feature would be extremely helpful when trying to get a collective view of everything our creative team is working on in for example a bi-weekly priorities portfolio- not everything is part of a bigger project- and a single single request can take up just as much time as if it was part of a project. We need to be able to see all of it.
