Allow bulk editing of colors

My team uses top-level folders to organize tasks by strategic initiatives (ex: Partner Marketing) & sub folders to organize more tactically (ex: Partner A, Partner B, etc.).

We like to color code top-level folders to help prioritize tasks when looking at them in aggregate.

This is incredibly helpful in making Wrike navigable, but when we may have 15-20 subfolders, assigning colors one-by-one to keep things organized becomes cumbersome quickly.

It would be nice to have the option to assign a color to all subfolders/projects in a parent folder, or at least be able to shift+click to bulk select folders.

Agree, would love to see top-level folder color code options - seems obvious and would be a major enhancement!

Agree, a settings to apply the same color to projects under a folder would be very useful. For example, a High priority folder colored as red, would automatically apply the red color to all of the projects inside that folder.

I have large lists of projects, this would be very time saving for me.

Can Wrike team support this function?

We believe on R&D size will be not complicate to enable BULK color for folder and project, due similar BULK function is already enable on task.

Thanks

I'm not sure what everyone means by folder. I'm assuming you mean a particular tier (aka Indent) of a Gantt schedule. If so, then I would +1 this request to have batch color change of tasks.

Next January will be 7 year of this request.... and no following up... how is possible such a simple function not possible to integrate?

We have hundreds of folder sometimes with wrong color and batch color changing will be life saver... can you please enable this function? 

Thanks

Riccardo

Hi Riccardo Proserpio 🙋🏻‍♀️

Thank you for checking in. I understand the sentiment and can see how a batch color change option would add value. While our Product team appreciates user suggestions and strives to work on them, not all can be prioritized. Nevertheless, many are considered, and you can see some Community-driven suggestions launched last year in this post.

Currently, there are no new updates on this suggestion. However, we can wait for more upvotes and use cases as we continue to pass your feedback on to the team and check for updates regularly. Thank you! 😊
