Set assignees

To set assignees to a task, click on Add assignee in the detail panel. Select a project member as an assignee or type in an email address to invite a new member and assign the task to him.

The newly invited assignee will become a Normal project member as default. You can change the member permission role later in the Project Members page.

To remove an assignee, select the assignee that you want to remove first, then tap on the x icon.

Note: When the task already has an assignee, selecting another member will replace the existing one. If you would like to assign this task to multiple assignees, tap on the blank area first, then add other assignees to this task.
