Taskboard + Current User

[Ashleigh L]

I'm trying to set up a shared perspective for my team using the taskboard as a base, and filtering it to show current user. However, when I do this, I still see all the parent items in the iteration - even if I am not assigned any tasks in them - and it's only the tasks that are filtered by the current user.

For example, in my attached image, I'm neither assigned to the parent, or have any tasks in the the parent, but they still show up in the view. I am assigned to the third item, and all my tasks are displaying as they should.

I would like to set up a view that only includes parent items and task children if the current user is assigned to the parent, or assigned to at least one task in the parent.

Hello,

unfortunately we don't have functionality to filter parent items by their tasks assigned to. If you consider this as disadvantage of our product you can submit a feature request in our Ideas & Feedback Portal and give a vote up for it so we can move it faster in development. Our customers feedback is important to us so we can make our product better and easier of use.

Currently, you could add filter for parent items by their assigned to, using board row settings. Another option is to use My Perspective view, we designed it to display all your tasks, and each task shows information for its parent and also, you could easily navigate from the task to the parent.

 

I hope that was useful for you and apologize for the confusion.
If you have any other questions do not hesitate to contact us again.

Regards,
