Direct Link to Project
When given the link to a task or viewing a task within a dashboard, there is no easy way to go to the project. We have to click into the folder, then find the project within, and click into that. This is really difficult when we have dozens of projects which are named similarly. It would be great if we could somehow click into the project directly from a task.
Often, my team views tasks only from their dashboard. In order to reference the project details or communicate to the requestor at the project level, it's not intuitive how to navigate to the project! Please consider this update!!
Thank you for posting Laura Walz, I've made aware our Product team of your feedback!
This is the same request from 4 years ago. It's so simple and would make the click path vastly easier!

Chiming in to say this would be so helpful. As it is you have to click backwards through several layers to get to the parent project. It's not intuitive.
Hi Jennifer Davis, thank you for sharing your feedback, I'm passing it on to the team.
Hi! I am not sure where to post this question/issue.
In the past, managers in my department would copy the directions in a project (usually submitted through a request form) and paste them into the direction fields of each task. Recently I started copying the link to the project info and pasting it into the task direction field so the designers could jump to the project, read the direction, and jump back to the task.
This week I have had multiple occasions where the link I put in the task, does not go to the project info screen. Instead, it goes to the table view (default view - so not exactly incorrect) with the project and the tasks listed. It does not open the project information screen - even when I copy the link from the open project info screen.
Is this a new feature? Did something change? Once again, not a big deal, just one more difference that I have to instruct my group to navigate.
I know. It seems super easy to just ask everyone to click the button that reads "info," and I will, but the training fatigue is causing work slowdown already and we haven't even switched to Lightspeed yet.
Hi Kelly R, thank you for bringing this to us. If you copy the link to the project, when clicking on it, users should be redirected to the project details:
1- Copy link:
2- What users will see when clicking on the link:
Additionally, you can copy the link to the project details in full screen:
1- Enter full screen:
2- What users see when opening the link:
Is this what you were looking for? If you encounter a different behavior, we can open a ticket with our Support Team so that our agents can investigate your case.
Looking forward to your reply 🙂
We also want to be able to view tasks only on our dashboards, but be able to click into the project details from those tasks. I had set up a dashboard widget that showed tasks by project, so users could click into the project from the widget, but that meant that every task took up two lines in the widget (Project, then Task).
This widget view has a bug, however, in that any time a task got assigned to a user, that user's widget would display the highest level folder instead of the actual parent folder until the user manually refreshed their page.
Furthermore, with the new widget Filter, the "Break by Projects" functionality is broken.
Suggestion: Being able to have a "Project" field that acts as a button to go to a task's parent project details, would allow users to jump directly from a task to its project in a widget, table, or item view.
Thanks!
