#3314: Quire Feedback
Status: Completed
Tag: Wont Do

Today I came cross a bug when moving tasks from one project to another: The references (#tasknumber) are not adjusted to the new project they just stay the same and point to the same number and obviously to another task.

Possible solutions:

  • Keep the Referenz Numbers unique - would give us the possibility to reference tasks from other projects as well (might not work in global setups)
  • Include the project in the reference as well (might not work in global setups)
  • Minimal solution: Show a warning that the reference will break when moving a task around / replace the reference-link with the name/project of the original reference
  • You will think of some more possibilities ;-)

@Uquire-998 - This isn't a bug. A task ID number is unique in its own project. When you move a task from a project to another, it will be given a new task ID number. Sadly, you would need to manually modify the task ID when you move a task from one project to another.

You can include the project when you reference a task, type #projectID/taskID. Hope this helps.

Are there any planes to always show the task name? Or make it configurable?

@Uquire-998 - unfortunately, due to technical difficulties, it's hard to always show the task name. The task name will only show when you refer a task from the same project.

I just tried it with this Task, I can link it with the ID itself:

#3314

and it will show the name of the Task, if I add the projectID

#Quire_Feedbacks/3314

it will not show the task-name anymore when the reference is done from another project (does not make sense here ;-) ) - any ideas how to fix this?

Hi @peggy , Thanks for the feedback, is there a numeric projectID? I only see the ID that is used in the URL of a project. Maybe it would be a good idea to always add the projectID automatically?

@Uquire-998 - You will be able to find the project ID at its URL. It’s the characters between w/ and /. If you include the project ID when referring a task from another project, it won't show the task name. The task name will show if you refer a task from the same project.
