Add a Requested by field to a task
With the same functionality as the Assigned To field, I'd like to identify who asked for the task to be done. My team supports few different departments and this woudl clearly identify who the work is for without having to ready the comments or create a custom field.
Hi Jason West! As I understand, this is similar to this https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360049482113-Custom-form-drop-down-tied-to-users, and you're suggesting to automatically add this "Requested by" field instead of creating a custom field, is that correct?

First choice would be to have a Requested By (or Primary Contact) field as a standard task field that would carry all the functionality and reporting capability of the Assigned To field.
It would also be great to have this field automatically populated via the From field on an email or using the email address submitted on a request form.
My other request is related in that without the Requested By field on the task, we could capture the user from the form however I imagine there could be other use cases where I'd want to identify a user on a request form. "Who is your supervisor for approval?"
Happy to discuss in more detail if you have any other questions. Thanks!
