That way you could sort/search tasks by what type they are -- i.e. "bugs" vs "review" vs "design" vs "meeting" vs "phone call". Also helpful if/when time tracking/expenses are added, so you can assign different time/cost attributes to different task types. Task types could be configured per-project or per-installation by an admin under the Configuration options.

Why not just use the unique ID which aC gives to each task upon creation? Maybe just add this when displaying each task:

#1: Do X task

You can do that already (within a project).

We'll see about this. Now when I worked with bugtracking software for several months I know how important task ID-s are.

That's great; I've been using Task Lists as a basic bug tracker, but this will make life so much easier!

If everything turns out right we'll be using activeCollab as activeCollab bug tracker pretty soon :D


IMHO, it would become a perfect bug tracker and version manager with little improvement :

* move a task from a task list to another ;
* optionnally make visible a unique identifier (with say 4 digits) for each task (to refer rapidly a task).

This set of features will be added to support people who need ability to track issues (bug reports, complex tasks that required discussion, tasks that require screenshot to describe a behavior or problem etc). It makes things a bit more complicated, but if executed properly it can be made so it actually stays out of users way and can be used when such thing is required.

It is planned for 0.7.5.
