I’ve just been sinking my teeth into goals this week, and I wonder if there’s a way to use the automatic goal progress tracking tool, but for it to be powered by a combination of tasks, projects and sub-goals?
Currently I can only seem to select one of the three options, and I am finding myself having to create redundant sub-goals with tasks within or similar, when it would be less convoluted/complex to simply be able to mix the types of work that we can measure progress with? Especially since we’re able to easily weigh them against each other (so the task can weigh less than the project for example).
The highlighted one, Project, shows two alternatives for it.
So that’s the short answer.
If you’d like to request a feature, add a new topic in English Forum > Product Feedback with the specific feature you’re requesting and enough explanation of what you mean, and maybe a concrete example (because it’s hard for me, at least, to envision having multiple ways to set progress and configure that clearly). Also, first search in English Forum > Product Feedback to make sure someone hasn’t already requested that. Then vote with the Vote button at the top.
Hi @Laura_Hueto_Puig , not to negate the need for this request and @lpb’s recommendation, but you could try creating a subgoal for each additional source.
So, one subgoal would source tasks, the second subgoal would source projects and then you would add your other subgoals too, all rolling up to your parent goal.
Would that work for you? Unless that’s what you mean by ‘redundant subgoals’?
You should theoretically achieve the same by distributing the weights of the subgoals between each other.
Hey Richard! Thank you, yes that’s what I meant! It’s what I have ended up doing - creating a subgoal to house self-learning tasks that don’t sit in any projects for example, and then additional sub-goals for relevant projects. I just feel like it clutters the goal needlessly - but at least it does the job for now!
