[Status: Backburner ⏳] Mass actions: Changing tasks titles or prefixes

Hi Team!

We need to change task titles in mass quantities beyond the duplication of templates.

It would be much faster and easier to utilize mass actions and select all the tasks you wish to change the name, prefix, or even ending.

This would help our process greatly!!

 

Thank you,

Mass editing and addition of prefixes would be very helpful. There seems to be already many tasks that can be done on a bulk basis. thanks

Big BIIIIG upvote from us here too - ability to mass-edit prefixes and titles would be a huge help to our teams.

This now has 81 upvotes - still not enough to get some love and attention?

Yes please! This would be incredibly useful to our organization. We manage digital content projects and have "projects" that we number in order by Month and each Project has anywhere between 6-16 individual tasks. We include the numerical code of the individual "project" in each task title. Right now we have to manually use table view to change the number and suffix (project name) in each task, which is very time consuming. We've used the export/import find/replace method, which can save some time. But it would be really helpful if we could use the TABLE view to do a find/replace within Wrike to adjust each prefix/suffix without having to use Excel. Please and thank you!!

Hello Michelle Potts, thank you for chiming in. In Automation now you have the option to add prefixes, suffixes and completely change the names of items. Would this be an alternative for you?
 
If you have any questions on how to apply this automation rule, please feel free to share more details on your use case so we can assist you.
 
Thank you!

Hi Juan - I am looking for more of a mass editing on a project-by-project basis, where we could do it like a mass update. Either with numbers or with a naming convention.  Thanks for sending those links, but yeah, still looking for something more on the project and task level. 

Thanks!

Hi @... the ability to mass add a prefix to tasks that never had one is great, but for us, we really need the ability to mass EDIT that prefix.  In the event we realize we made a mistake, or in our case, we have so many projects with different prefix configurations and we want to standardize them, that some need to be changed altogether, but already have one so I wouldn't want to add another.  I hope that makes sense.  Basically PLEASE add this, seems like it could be an easy tweak now that we can mass edit tasks to add a prefix.  In Wrike is there a feature to do a find all and replace maybe?

Just wanted to join this upvote party! Very similar to Krisha's comment, we assign codes to projects/campaigns that require a project manager post-submission, and it would be helpful to have a way to assign that code to in a less time-consuming way than by clicking into each individual item.
