Task References in Comments

When a task exists and the feature like checkboxes are used to create mini-tasks or 'to do' items in a task, it would be useful to be able to reference those to do items in the comments section of that task. For example, create checkboxes on the Task's description, have them either auto-numerated or hidden auto-numerated and those to do items could be referenced in the comments section via a tag like "#todo3 is completed, but I have a question"

This is a huge one for me!!! Asana does this well and it is so helpful because its a very common thing to mention other tasks within comments of another. Right now its a painful process to reference another task because you literally have to:

  1. Exit the current task
  2. Locate the task you want to reference by either searching or browsing
  3. Click the detailed view of task 
  4. Click the link icon of the task
  5. Select and copy the URL
  6. Go back to the original task (either by browser back or by searching/browsing for it)
  7. Pasting URL into the comments.

This 7 step process could be reduced to a simple one step tagging tool!

Hi Veronica Caldwell, welcome to the Community. At the moment, it would be necessary to copy and paste the permalink of the task to include it in another item. Alternatively, you can create a subtask to tag a different item:

I hope this information helps! Please, let us know if you have any additional questions 🙂

Andrea Fazio Daniel Romito This is a thread that talks about tagging a project in an easier way. Azure Dev Ops does it well for reference.
