My Tasks focus

I believe this has been fixed now. 🥰 Quire-team - you are really fantastic! I’ve never experienced a company that listens so carefully to their users, and at the same time goes their own way to make an amazing product. Keep up the great work!! ❤️👏👊

Hi @daniellj , Do you mean in My Tasks, you sort by project then you scroll all the way down to the bottom of the list and complete a task there? After you complete the task, you quit the app and open again. But when you open Quire again, our system will detect the last task that you’re working on and take you to the neighbor task. However, you expect to stay at the top of the list as default.

It’s our current spec. The system will remember your last behavior and we let you continue where you left off. Your suggestion makes sense to me, however, you are one of the very few users who raise this similar concern to us. This user behavior is quite subjective, therefore in the short term, I’m afraid we will not change our current spec. I will still let our team know about this suggestion though. Thank you.

I notice this happening in all type of projects, not only My Tasks. Can we get a setting at account or project level to prevent focus stealing, for example Task Focus: 'top of list', 'bottom of list', or 'recent task'? Or have it harmonise with the project setting of where to place new tasks in a list, Task: 'add to bottom' or 'add to top'.

Sorry, but it does not help.

• In My Tasks list 'sort on date' and 'sort on project' is basically the only two choices I have, and the problem is still that the system refocuses/autoscroll the list to the most recent edited task. I'd like the system to ignore just that and instead just show the top of the list.
• The same goes for any other Project list, I do not want to change the type of sorting to 'sort by date', instead I just want the system to focus on the top of my list whatever sorting I choose. Possible please?

@daniellj , try sorting the list by Active Tasks/Sort by Date. This way, after you completed a task, the system will focus on the next task instead of the completed task. Hope this helps.

Hi @peggy , Ok, I will try to be more clear. Forget about completed tasks. No need to restart the app. The problem is more general.

Steps to reproduce on mobile app:

1. Click on the My Tasks view. ('Sort by project' or 'Sort by date' does not matter.) The system will then jump to (autoscroll) to the most recent Task X that was clicked (last active) under the My Tasks view (last behaviour) and highlight and fade it.

2. Click into or create some other Task Y.

3. Click yourself to some other Project view. (The same thing happens here, unique for that project)

4. Click back to My Tasks view. The system will then jump to Task Y.

To me this is an annoyance on mobile screen. What I did more than a few minutes ago, especially in the My Tasks view, is irrelavant. I think the sole purpose of My Tasks is to /always/ show me those tasks sorted in whatever order is chosen, but I can see the analogy to how it works for web-version. Anyway, at least I'd like this feature to have a time-out of a few minutes instead of that everytime I return to My Tasks having it occupy brain time: why did this task come into focus?

Please consider resetting the task focus to "top of list" after some time has passed (i.e. ignoring last active task), or implement an option to disable the recent task focus. I do love the minimalists approach of QUIRE and I think too much bling-bling such as autoscrolling, highlighting and fading does not belong in this philosophy.

This issue is the same as nr 2. in #2727, meaning there are more users requesting this feature.

On the web-version it is less of an annoyance because the monitor is generally so large it will not trigger as much autoscrolling and the highlighting does not fade away.

Thanks!
