Optionally associating checklist to tasks

avatar zeebeedee Feb 8. 2010. 6:49 am #1
Hi, i've been trying activecollab demo. After i've figured out the system procedure i think there was a missing part about Checklists with tickets.

IMHO, it will be very nice if we can associate checklists with tasks, so tickets could act like mini-projects with process milestones.

Thanks.

For Example :
Ticket : Bake a cake

Associated Checklist :
1 cup white sugar
1/2 cup butter
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 cup milk

Thank you for the suggestion, we really appreciate it.

We do not have plans to add that type of linking between tasks and checklists because we feel that there's no need to make things more complicated. Milestone > Tickets > Tasks and Milestone > Checklist > Tasks structure is more than enough for majority of people.

Still, you can easily post checklist URL in task text and have it linked that way. There's no strict linking there, but if you absolutelly need to break tasks even further, than that's one of the options.

PS: When tasks needs to be broken into more subtask, it's usually a signal that it needs to be "promoted" into ticket or checklist.
