Auto numbering by tasks

I would like to be able to auto # by task using similar codes used in WBS. i.e

1. task one

  1.1 sub-task

  1.2  sub-tasks

2.

I hope you get the idea.  Is this possible with Wrike?

Charles.

Hi Charles Muhiu, welcome to the Community, happy to see you here! 🙂

I can see that you've already discussed this with our Support - currently it's not possible to automate task numbering. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions, I'll be happy to discuss!

WBS is a must in project management.  There are a lot of comments in the community.
But where can i found the final state?

Hi Beth Pitcher, would you please let us know if the automation rule to automatically add prefixes, suffixes and change name could be an option for you?

Agree numbering is essential - We also need it for our RAID reporting - it is getting really hard when you filter by open risks only and then can't see where the numbering is up to

Thank you for supporting this idea Rhonwyn Williams

Are you using Wrike's RAID template, or did you create your own process for RAID reporting?

Yes I am using the RAID template, however rather than using the scoring fields, we have used custom fields to capture ratings for our risks and used the automation tool to give us a residual risk rating based on the input of the previous 2 columns

Numbering is need not just for RAID, but for all Folders, Tasks and sub tasks - the Same as Jira uses for every issue/story/epic, ect. This should be a standard naming convention that is enforced 

This is what we currently have:

We've also got a requirement for auto numbering or at least unique IDs for Wrike - has there been any progress on getting this scheduled?
