It’s too easy to accidentally mark as completed a task, especially for a newbie in the team.
You should have a pop up to ask confirmation: “Confirm the task as completed?”. You could let people decide whether to turn the feature on or off.
Good idea. Even as an “old” user, I constantly have to stop myself from clicking the check mark at the top of the right pane to close the pane.

We need this badly. We have a couple staff members who are notorious for “accidentally” completing tasks. I would love to see a confirmation box asking “Are you sure?” before a task is marked complete. What would be even better is a specific permission for completing a task.

+1 from us too… This happens to us all the time. We’re big hotkey users and an accidental “cmd + enter” without realizing that MacOS is targeting Chrome not whatever Adobe software we’re using is a real problem.
It’s currently quite easy to accidentally mark a task as complete, Adding a short confirmation step before closing a task would help prevent unintended completions and improve overall user experience (this is both for desktop amb mobile app).
Best regards!

As a temporary workaround, we recommend using custom fields and rules to double-check completion procedures for specific projects.
Another workaround is to use Custom Task Types; it’s not a full “are you sure” prompt, but you can’t just single-click to complete a task by accident. When you click on the task icon, it opens up the list of options, and then you have to select one.

I believe that is an excellent idea

People in my organization keep moving tasks here and there by mistake.
Is there an option to activate a safety screen before moving a task between sections or marking it complete? Something like “Are you sure you want to mark this task as completed? YES - CANCEL”
For example, my coworkers favourite button is this one that remove the task from the project so I can’t even find the task in the research. they keep pressing it by mistake!
Welcome, @Nicolò_Milesi,
I’ve merged your post into an existing topic where you can click the title to scroll to the top and vote by clicking the Vote button at the top-left.
This topic is only about marking complete. For confirmation of the other actions, please search in English Forum > Product Feedback to see if those requests exist and then vote on them, otherwise, please create a new topic for each request (remove from project, move between sections, etc.).
A potential workaround would be to use a rule either to reverse the action, or generate a task to note that it happened and perhaps assign to someone to manually reverse the action and remind the person about the issue.
Thanks,
Larry
