Adding Followers from Blueprint
Hi! I've posted in the How To section, because surely someone else has had this problem and found a workaround? https://help.wrike.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/1500000454801-Adding-Followers-from-Blueprint. I can't believe this isn't already part of the product! 😱
Wrike recommends having only one assignee, so we've been using "Followers" to keep people in the loop on tasks that they're not responsible for, but still need to know about status and updates. The same people need to be followers any time a task is repeated, so why don't followers in the blueprint carry over the projects created from the blueprint? Followers need to be included in projects or tasks created from Blueprints.
Thank you for your suggestion, Desiree Dixon! Our product team is constantly working on improving Wrike and I've passed on your feedback to the team.
Agreed. This would be even more useful if groups could be added as followers. Teams change and managing individuals ends up being a lot of work.
Hey Owen Greenwell, I totally see where you're coming from here. I've shared this with the team also.
If you need anything else let us know 👍

Adding followers from a blueprint would be EXTREMELY helpful. Like Desiree Dixon said in her original post, I can't believe this isn't a tool that is available especially when it appears to be available when setting up a task in a blueprint.
Thank you for supporting this idea Wade Bishop!

I would also love to have followers at the project level. Even better if the task assignees could be automatically added as followers to the project. Our team keeps all conversations pertaining to the project in the main project comments. Using @followers there doesn't notify the full team on the project since they're all assigned to individual tasks.

Not sure if this has been implemented, but I just noticed followers do not carry over and it seems I have to manually add them all back to 100s of tasks.
Hi Adriel Ewell, apologies for the late reply here!
