Better UI to designate FOLLOWERS (not assignees)
The UI for adding followers to a task should be easier to use, similar to the "Assign" UI.
The current UI is buried in a menu, hard to get to, and hard to add people while the "assign" UI is easy and accessible. The end result is it encourages people to add too many "assignees" who aren't responsible for the task.
It could function a bit like a "CC" on an email (need to be aware, no action needed) or an "informed" designation on a RACI matrix.
Hi Alex, thanks for posting! I love how you compare this with the "CC" of an email, in its simplicity that's pretty much the main point of following, so I do agree that a faster/clearer way to designate followers could be helpful.
Hi Alex and Anastasia,
is there a way to add followers (not assignees) through mass Actions?
I need to add regularly several followers to several Tasks at a time.
It looks like there hasn't been activity on this in a while, but I totally agree with Alex Freund and Walter Bläs that the UI for followers should be better, and I also agree you should be able to add other people as followers through mass actions.
Thank you for supporting this idea Desiree Dixon! 🙌 I'm passing your feedback to the Product!
