This has been driving me nuts forever. I (like probably many other users) like to add Tasks/Reminders on My Task list, away from already set projects. These tasks are only for me and helps keep a running to do list for my work.
Unfortunately, every single time i click Add task, either the blank row automatically disappears and I have to scroll and find it, OR, nothing seems to happen at all. Many people have complained about this and it keeps getting closed as “it’s not a bug”. But in all candor, it’s EXTREMELY frustrating and exhausting to scroll all over my task feed to find an empty row. What is the secret workaround to help here?
It will default to you as the Assignee so it will appear in My Tasks.
Many of us don’t have this problem which is probably due to your Sort or Group. You won’t have this problem with no Sort and Group by Sections > Custom order, which is what I generally recommend.
Thanks so much, Larry! Took me a while to fine the Create button, as it’s out of the way of My Task list. And my view seems to be different than yours (perhaps you have the desktop app?)
I think from a user standpoint, the Add Task button should work way cleaner in this view. That’s my 2 cents, but I’ll try to use the Create button from now on
The only difference is that I have the left sidebar collapsed (I’m using the web app, not desktop app). So you can always click the hamburger menu at the top left to give you more room overall and keep the Create button closer to the main body.
Hi @Jonny_Rosado It sounds like you may have a rule trigger that says when a task is added to My tasks> if [variable], move to section [section]. Possibly for tasks with no due date? I had a similar situation and I created a “No Project” section and then modified my rule to include a Check if Section is not “No Project”.
Tasks added to the new section should not move automatically.
