I like that we can create subtasks by selecting text in a task description
What I think would be even better would be to have this option in a Status Update, to add tasks to the project you’re writing the update for.
A lot of times Status Updates are used to convey conclusions and next steps in a project. Often, when I write a status-update it is after we’ve had a meeting, and I’m informing the rest of the project team.
It’s a bit of a hassle going back and forth writing the status update, and then creating the tasks to match them, and then finding them again using @-mention
Doing this smoothly now requires two windows, where one has the status update and another one displays the project.
What I think would be really handy is to be able to type the status update including next steps, and then before submitting the status update selecting the next steps so they become the tasks in the project.
I think this could improve the experience of writing status updates, especially with limited screen real estate. (read laptop screen only)
