The task editor
Updated 18 May 2026
One editor, every surface. Tap a task on the board, in My Tasks, on a chat thread, on the phone — the same screen opens, the same fields wait for you. Anything you change syncs to everyone else's screen within a second.
Fields
- Title — what you typed when you made it. Editable inline.
- Description — long-form. Markdown works. Images and files can be attached.
- Assignee — one person, or none.
- Project — which project it belongs to.
- Start date / due date — calendar pick. Within the date picker you can type plain English: "tomorrow", "next monday", "every friday" (sets a repeat), or a time like "3pm".
- Duration — how long you think the task will take. Used for time-blocking and the workload view.
- Priority — low / normal / high / urgent.
- Subtasks — child tasks rendered inline.
- Activity — the full log of who did what when. Comments live in the same stream.
- Attachments — drag files in, or paste images straight from your clipboard.
How quick-add fills these fields
The quick-add form (the slide-in that opens when you click Add task) lays the fields out as a sentence:
For [assignee ▾] in [project ▾] starting [date ▾] lasting [duration ▾] priority [icon]
Click any pill, pick a value, move on. You don't have to fill them all — leave what you don't need and the task carries sensible defaults.
Comments and activity
The activity log shows every change in chronological order. Add a comment, change status, reassign — it all lands in the same stream. @-mention anyone and they get notified. Reply by email to a notification and the reply lands on the task as a comment.
Tasks with rules: when "done" needs multiple steps.
