Permit multi-select remove from project even if only one project

[lpb]

There’s no “X” beside the project name in the multi-select > projects popup if tasks are only in a single project like this one:

That means that when you use multi-select there’s no way to remove the task from that project, which I might want to do for various reasons (e.g., maybe because I only want it in My Tasks now).

If I single-select any of the tasks, there’s no such limitation in Task Details–the “X” is present:

Why is multi-select preventing me from doing something efficiently that I can do inefficiently (one-by-one) in Task Details?

Mutli-select includes the “X” for tasks multi-homed to multiple projects; it seems to only remove in the case of single project membership.

Thanks,

For me it is a bug, someone must have messed up the condition for the appearance of that cross

Hi @lpb and thanks for the report.

I’ve a feeling this is intended, but let me check in with the team to find out more!

Hi @lpb,

I have more information from our development team:

• You can change the tasks to be in a different project by clicking the pencil icon and replacing the current project with a different one.
• It’s expected that you can’t bulk remove from all projects (so you can’t accidentally orphan a lot of tasks all at once)

Thanks again for your feedback, we really appreciate it and we’ll make sure to add any updates here!

Thanks @Emily_Roman. I voted for this because I think you should use a confirm dialog for it, not remove the feature. @Bastien_Siebman, you should vote too since you seemed to agree!

Thanks,

Larry

I got stuck with a client on this. The use case was: 20 subtasks were being made part of a project by mistake. He wanted to remove the task (subtasks ) from the project
