Bitrix24 Community

just a question. isn't a task template with out subtasks basically useless?  the template functionality is only actually useful when you are actually have a group of tasks.  i suppose a work around might be to duplicate a task that happens to have a bunch of sub tasks.

Hello dear Bitrix24 users!
I've passed this feature to our development.
I think it's really needed option.
Thank you for your opinion!
Anna.

Hi, Halima!

Unfortunately we don't plan to add this feature in the coming Updates. I'll pass your demand to the development. We'll think about it.

Best Regards,
Anna

Yes, your task can be solved now using this method only.

Hi Roland,

Unfortunately cannot give lights on this subject, we may add it later.

Kind regards,

Yana.

We'll take it into account.

Hi,

We don't have this feature in Bitrix24 now. I have passed your request to the development department. Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Andreea,

Thanks for the suggestion, we have plans to add it, but I cannot promise it will come soon though.

Sincerely,

Yes, we have plans for this option, I cannot advise any deadlines now.

Hi Shawna,

Thanks for your vote, we have plans for this option for sure, but can't advise when it will be implemented.

Hi Samantha,

I'm afraid it will not be added in the upcoming release, so I suggest it will join our roadmap for the next year. Thanks for your vote!

Yana.  

I've been using Backpack for 9 years but I am looking for something with more storage and integration between the calendar and the tasks.
I'm tempted by Bitrix 24 but there are a couple of things that are stopping me. Looks like lots of others are also mentioning 2 of these - but I thought that I would add my voice to the
feedback. You are offering this for free initially - so you deserve some free user feedback.
1.  No sub tasks in Task templates.
As some wise person has already said - what is the point of a template without sub tasks? You may as well just go ahead and create a new task. This would be a really good time saver.
2. You cannot reorder subtasks once you have created them.  This is really annoying if you work from a to do list - it means planning ahead all of the steps in a task and they might not
occur to you in the order you want to action them. It is a serious oversight - and a deal breaker for me.
3. There is sometimes a need to be able to assign things to another company without making them into a user. Here is an example from the field of publishing - 'Printers to provide spine width for new book'. This is something that an external agency - the printers - are going to do - and I cannot design the cover before they do this - so it needs to go on the list. But I cannot create them as a contact without adding their email address and sending them an invite to join. I don't really want them to join - I just need to be able to referance them without having to explain to them why they have got an email request to join. There may be things on the system that I do not want external companies to be able to view.
I think you need the facility to create external companies without having to give them an email address - and restrict their access to view things.
Even as a check box overide - this would be a really useful feature to have - although I guess there are work arounds.
4. It would be good to be able to categorise and colour code Tasks - in my case  Books in production, Covers in production. Advance information sheets, Press and publicity etc etc etc
So you could view all of the Tasks that fit into that Category.

So to sum up this is a promising piece of software but there is a great deal of hassle - moving over from Backpack is a big process - and I love the way that backpack lets you reorder tasks - I am not switching until issues 1 and 2 have been addressed. After that.. I'm in.

Just a polite note - it's been more than 2 years since this was pointed out, it really is mostly pointless having a template task which doesn't support such a powerful feature as subtasks. We are a project based company and this is precisely the functionality that we need.

We will work around for now - that's life - and we are not currently paying customers; but +1 for the subtasks in task templates.

Now you can create a task with prefix "[Template]", set it to  deffered  and create a filter with the condition "name contains [Template]". So you can create any subtask, checklist...or anything else as you want. Other fillters will have a condition "name not contains [Template]" to ignore the template tasks. When you want to create a task with those template, you can use the copy function but now there are some bugs here  https://www.bitrix24.com/support/forum/forum35/topic10211/

Just for other users benefit, this workaround does not work as of 20/03/15. I'm not sure if the OP tested this workaround but copying a task does not duplicate it's subtasks. Which is really rubbish. We adopted Bitrix24 mainly for task management and it doesn't do any of the following key features:

1) reordering of subtasks
2) settings task to start at the end of another task, or at the same time as another task starts
3) Template tasks with subtasks
4) Copying a task which features subtasks. This only copies the parent task.
5) import tasks from CSV - if it supported this I might even be willing to use a CSV as my task template to import a list of subtasks


I might as well be using excel, unfortunately. This software does little more than filter a nested list at present.

I must say if I had invested any money in this software I would be very disappointed at the moment.

Is this a public beta that we're not being told about?

After getting enthusiastic when I came across Britrix24 today and all its features for collaboration and CRM, Unfortunately, as my business is very project based, after testing the platform I find it doesn't do what I expected in the task module.

The suggestions mentioned in this thread would be perfect. At the moment I can't find any sense in the task template without it including subtasks and checklists.

Implementing the tasks into the business process would be ideal too.

I'm a little disheartened after feeling that I found a great service earlier today. I suppose I'll have to wait for these features to be rolled out in a future update before being able to consider Beatrix24 as a solution to fit my needs. I won't hold my breath though, this thread started over 2 years ago.

Onwards and upwards, I'll have to go with another system for now.

Hi,

After testing the templates section. We come around the problem where we can't share the templates. The templates are only visible for the one who has made the template. In the template are the 4 admins responsible but they don't see the templates.

Situation as it should be: I have 4 admins and all the admins need to see the tasks and templates which are made bij the other admins.

How can i arrange this?

Best,

Jermaine

Hi Yana,

Could you tell me what the time line is when this will be implemented?

Add me as a +1 on the necessity for templates to include subtasks and for tasks to be shared among users. I was also very excited when this program was suggested to me, thinking it would not only solve our current issues but grow with the company. Unfortunately, at this time, I do not believe it can SOLELY based on this one issue. If it can't handle my small company today with a fairly simple task structure, it can't possibly grow. And considering it has taken 2 years to implement these 2 vital upgrades, it leaves many people, I'm sure, wondering if the development of this software is going to keep up with your client base. It's a shame because there was clearly some great work in the development up to that point.

Hi,
I am repeating what is mentioned above but Tasks need the ability to
Share task templates with others
Create checklists within a task template
Copy a task with sub tasks
Create a task with subtasks from template, whilst I can create a template with a parent task, it doesn't show it correctly in the task list, it only shows the parent task with no subtasks.

This seems to have many votes and feature request outstanding for a while, when will it be addressed?

PS I am using the self-hosted version

+1000 share templates with other users.  It's in a must!

We losing so much time and very annoying to have many people in the same office recreating the same template, every time we implement a new task procedure/workflow.
