Creating tasks from comments

From Planfix

This feature is useful when a discussion about one task brings up a topic that needs its own task. When you hover your cursor over a comment, the Additional actions icon appears. Clicking this icon opens the additional actions menu:

Create task

Click the Create task option in the menu to open the interface for creating a new task. When you do so:

  • the user who initiates creating the comment will be set as the creator of the task;
  • the project will be the same project that the task with the comment is in;
  • the task with the comment will become the parent task of the new task;
  • the comment text will be used as the task description;
  • the users who were notified about the comment will be set as the task participants.

These values are automatically populated in the task creation form for convenience, to reduce the amount of manual work needed. Any of them can be changed before saving the task.

Create task+

An alternative way to create a task from a comment is to choose the Create task+ option. In this case, the created task will additionally include data about the comment itself:

  • date and time of the comment;
  • author;
  • link to the comment.
