[Backburner ⏳]Personal Space - custom personal workflows

I'd love the ability for ALL users to be able to create their own personal workflows in their personal space rather than having to either adopt an existing workflow that may not fit the needs of the user for the tasks/project they're managing out of their personal space. Maybe its not so much of creating a hard "workflow" as it currently exists in Wrike, rather maybe its simply having the ability to rename the buckets in the Personal space (much like MS Planner allows). Either way, giving users the increased ability to further customize their Personal space would add significant value to a stand out feature of Wrike.

This added ability for each user to customize how they manage their own personal work would allow a deeper adoption rate when onboarding new staff/departments into Wrike. As great as Wrike is with managing projects/tasks and communication throughout an organization/company, the Personal space is a MAJOR selling point when you're teaching folks about the system. The more individuals that use the personal space, the more accustomed and used to Wrike they get, and those habits of utilizing Wrike are created. Having the ability for users to have total ownership/customization options of their Personal space would be a significant value for every user that utilizes the Wrike platform.

In addition to this, being able to customize the item types would be huge. It's such visual fatigue having every folder and file I create in the personal space be the same icon - I rely heavily on custom items to quickly see where I need to go. It makes navigating my personal space MUCH harder than any other space.

As we reach the end of 2024, it's frustrating to see that this simple straightforward feature, which is available in every other space, still hasn't been implemented in your personal space. I would greatly appreciate an update on when we can expect this enhancement to be rolled out.

Hi Madison Macklin and Abraham Jacobowitz 🙋🏻‍♀️
 
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’d like to ask if creating a private space with all the included capabilities, particularly custom space workflows, could be an option for you.
 
This setup wouldn’t differ from a Personal space in terms of visibility to others, and, on the contrary, it would offer all the features of regular spaces, including private databases.
 
Could this work for you? Please let me know!

Basudha Sakshyarika Of course, that might work, but what's the point of the personal space that's built in?

What exactly is the purpose of a personal space, if it lacks the ability to have personalized workflows for the user? Creating a new "private" space that can be customized seems counter-intuitive if Wrike provides a "personal space". It's disappointing that this was posted 4 years ago and hasn't been addressed other than to suggest creating additional spaces, when the ability to customize spaces exists in every other space but your "personal" (non-personalized) space.

I hope you don’t mind me stepping in for Basudha here. We understand that this feedback request was posted a few years ago, and some of our users are looking for this functionality. I want to let you know that our product team is aware of this request, but due to other priorities taking precedence, we don't have any new updates yet.
 
As Basudha suggested, creating a private space is a workaround that might help some users. Nonetheless, I understand your point about having this capability in your Personal Space. I will definitely forward your comments to the product team. If there are any updates in the future, I’ll make sure to post them here. Thanks for your understanding.

Hi.

Let's be honest. If this task has not been prioritised in the backlog for four years, then its development chances are 0.

In my case, I found a solution elsewhere and continued to run projects and tasks there. Even if this functionality appears shortly, I will not transfer all the data.
