Hi,

Currently the Google Calendar integration brings over very little textual information: task name and description. I would like to have more information transferred, based mainly on hierarchy.

Imagine this example: Currently an event in Google Calendar is titled "Bill project". (This is the task name.) This single word doesn't mean too much in itself.

Actually, this task comes from here: Work (organization)

  • Web design for Client X (project)
    • Administration (task hierarchy head name for grouping)
      • Bill project (sub-task name)

I would like to have all this information handed over to Google Calendar in some form. I think a breadcrumb hierarchy of some kind could work at the top of the description field in Google Calendar, like this: Work > Web design for Client A > Administration > Bill project

Also, why not include even some more information if you could, like who created the the task, and who is it assigned to, etc.

I am using a Google Apps script for the custom quick-sync calendar integration which has this line in the code: var addOrganizerToTitle = false; // Whether to prefix the event name with the event organiser for further clarity So I guess if the ICS file contained the project name in the event organizer field, calendar events could be prefixed by that, back to my previous example: "Web design for Client X: Bill project".

It seems like this feature request was already implemented, at least partially. Thanks so far for the quick move.

Could you please also include the "Organization Name" and "Project Name" in the breadcrumb? They are still missing and it makes the information incomplete. E.g., for the "write contract" task it would be helpful to see which project and organization it belongs to.
