Hey guys I'd love to see and option to have inline tagging. (See Workflowy or Dynalist) At the moment it is pretty frustrating to type "Call @Robert", to select the Robert from the drop down and then get "Call" so I have to type Robert again. I assume that's helpful to some people. But what about giving some of us the option to use @tags the way ti works on other platforms like twitter, github, slack, workflowy and dynalist, etc, where you type "Call @Robert" and you're done. It's hard to ask people to relearn the interface basics or mentally context switch between usage in one as opposed to the other.
Hi Robert,
The @ in Quire means Assign a task to a member, that's the reason why you cannot use @ as mention someone function in the task name, though it still works as mentioning function in description and comment sections.
I would suggest you to leave a space between @ and Robert if you still want to use @ in the task name section.
Hope it helps!

This is a feature request. Explaining that it isn't available is not actually helpful. That's the reason I sent in the request.
It seems your current way of processing @tags is limiting the kinds of customers you might be getting. Allowing inline @tag mentions is a hugely helpful feature that even huge slow-moving giants like Facebook and Instagram are implementing.
I assume the "Mention" function wasn't added because your engineers thought it would be more useful to have the "Assign User" function. However, to me there appears to be no reason why you can't allow the "@" to trigger with both the "Assign" and "Mention" functions available. Perhaps a challenge for your User Interface team?

Vicky explained how the app functions when it comes to @ (which I found helpful) and also provided a suggestion. Pretty helpful response. To me there appears to be no reason why you can't simply use the @ tag in the Description and/or Comment sections, both of which can be visible while creating a Task if you pin the detail panel. Perhaps a challenge for you to do things even slightly differently than you're accustomed to?
