See top-level task on My tasks view

Currently, in My tasks, you only see one task level up from the task you’re viewing. Unfortunately, if your task is a sub-sub-task, it’s hard to know what your task is referring to.

Here’s a scenario: a creative request comes in and there are different project areas underneath it, e.g. design, video, development, print production. If you have a task under one of those project areas, you can’t see what the top-level task is on My tasks, only the project area.

So if I have a design task, the only thing I see is:
“[my task] < Design”
which really isn’t helpful.

I end up having multiple tasks that look identical to the above with no other clues as to what it’s referring to.

I would love to see the FULL task tree:
“[my task] < Design < [main task]”

Otherwise I have a list of generic tasks that I can’t associate with any top-level task. It really makes My tasks useful if I’m assign a sub-task, not a sub-sub-task. The entire task tree would make it actually useful day to day.

Hi @Steph_Wolf , welcome to the forum.

It sounds like you are going 2 levels deep into subtasks which usually results in such issues.

One method is to introduce naming conventions, for better clarity and variance between your task names, especially useful when you search and better for your My Tasks.

If the ‘Design’ subtask is created by a rule, using the action Create subtasks, you could place a ‘Task name’ variable in the title of the subtask so instead it will name it ‘Design of {task name}’.

That would then solve your sub-subtasks in your My tasks which would indicate the top level task name on the right (within the subtask’s title).
