My to-do view showing projects associated with assigned tasks
In the view of the tasks show in 'My to-do', it would be helpful to see the Project associated with the tasks assigned to me. Often, we will have repetitive tasks for the type of work we offer. Seeing the project (we have our client name in the title too), would help us work more efficiently.
Hey Amanda Gregory, welcome to the Community 👋
In My to-do, the project or folder tags are visible for tasks, does this help?

Lisa In my experience, we can only see the highest-level folder/project, which is a barrier when you have multiple projects in a folder or sub-projects. This is troublesome for standard tasks that are assigned for each project. We end up with 20 tasks with the same title in the same folder, so they are difficult to discern from my-to-do.
We have made a work around by adding project prefixes to all of the tasks, but project titles can be lengthy and can clutter the field as well.
Lynn is absolutely correct. We have just that. It is so confusing to follow unless you open every task or hover over the task on your list.
Hi Lynn Graham, thank you for the additional details, I've passed your comments to our Product Team 👍

I'm also wondering about this. I'm working on about 40 projects and have tasks in progress on almost all of them. When i look at "My To-do" I can't see which project the list of tasks are under. It really makes the "My To-do" unusable for me
I'm sorry to hear you're having this experience Eric Seagren, I assume the tasks aren't tagged with the relevant projects and this results in some missing project names in My-to do. Is this correct?
I'm afraid that it will be necessary to add the items to the relevant projects for them to be displayed next to the name of the task in my to-do.
Thanks @..., the issue is my tasks need to be organized in sub-folders. The "My to-do" feature will show the task and the folder it's in but not the overall project. Also, every project has almost identical tasks so it's impossible to know which projects a task is for. Further, when I click on a task on the "My to-do" list, the task info pane doesn't show which project, only the folder that the task is located in shows directly beneath the task title.
Hi Eric Seagren, thank you for your reply and for the additional details, I've passed your feedback on to our Product Team 👍
If there's anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate.
HI Juan, is this on the roadmap at all with product? It would be extremely helpful to see everything assigned to a user in one place, quickly, in Wrike. We are finding that not having this is a barrier to adoption by our team.
Hello Christin Engstrom, welcome to the Community, and thank you for sharing your use case with us. I'm sorry to hear this is causing issues for you and your team. May I ask if you have tried New Dashboards? You can create a widget to see all the items assigned to you or any user and enable the "Location" column to easily see where the items are located.
Could this be an option for you?
Hi Juan,
The Location field is not useful for the same reasons listed above - it shows only the folder the task is in (usually a subfolder, not the top-level project). I agree with everyone above, in that we also have projects that are almost all the same (they are created from a Blueprint), with many levels of subtasks, so seeing the folder a task is in is rather useless. People assigned to a task need to know what project it's in. I've searched high and low for a solution, tried workarounds, but couldn't find one (Automations don't have a way to copy the project name into a custom field, for example). This is really causing quite a headache for our teams, and I see it's been requested more than once, in different community forums. Can the votes all be compiled so that this can be added in Wrike?
Hi Karen Sudre, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. I'm sorry to hear you didn't find this option useful. We pass all your comments on to our Product Team, and the most popular ideas have more chances to be added. However, not all suggestions can be prioritized as fast as we'd like, or implemented.
In case you'd like to learn more about how we process feedback, please feel free to check this article 🙂
Please, rest assured that our relevant team is aware of the popularity of this suggestion and that we will keep you updated if there are any changes 👍
