Feature Requests

[From Blue Whale] I would like to be able to add relationships in bulk, especially by adding a folder or list. This would particularly be useful for dependencies.

Consider the following situation: There are 3 Lists A, B, C each with a column called "client name" There is another List D which has a list of 1000 client names. I created a relationship field such that the column "client name" in Lists A-C can access client names in List D. However, since this relationship is on a list to list level, the information is lost incase a task is moved between List A-C. Is there a solution to this? Is there a way to create a relationship, such that the "client name" value is not lost when we move the request from one list to another?

It doesn't seem there is a way to add the values for a rollup field. It would be great to be able to use rollup field values from relationships in formula fields.

Relationships nowadays just allow to select tasks previously created. It would be nice if we coud add a new task directly on related list through Relationships.

Here's a sample use case: I want to create a list of projects and group them by Client. The Client is a relationship to a task in a list called Clients. For some reason, I do have the ability to group by some of the linked items, like assignee (in this case I called it "Client Owner").

I would like to be able to link multiple lists in the relationship field similar to the way Goals allow you to select an entire list or multiple lists to a target. If a create a task, I'd like to be able to link multiple lists so that I can see the list names in the relationship field so I can click on them and be taken straight to the list that is linked to the task.

Many of our major projects appear as spaces or folders, not tasks. Being able to connect a doc to an overarching project instead of a task would be useful.

It would be so effective to have a relationship field be able to link 2-way. This would allow a seamless relationship between two tasks under the same relationship type. Right now, we can add the same relationship custom field into two different locations, however, when adding a relationship, from one task into another, where you add the relationship will sit in that custom relationship field, but in the linked task, it'll show as "Reference". If the same custom field relationship is in each list, and two tasks are added with a relationship together, my thoughts are we should have the ability to show it as a two-way relationship. Organizationally, this would be exceptional.

When viewing related tasks and the rollup fields in the popup window of List view or within the side pane of a Task view, there is no way to sort the tasks displayed by any of the rollup fields. (see screenshots) Which is a pain because it seems random at the moment. It would be great to have the same sort of sorting toggle ability that exists for task fields in normal list view.

It would be great if we could set filters for "Linked Tasks" columns and for "Rollup" columns (when we are rolling up Linked Tasks). So, for example, if you have a bunch of Tasks from multiple locations linked to another Task, and you want to create a column in List view that only shows the Linked tasks from ONE of those locations, this is not currently possible - instead, it shows all Linked Tasks from all locations. Likewise, if you want to create a Rollup column that rolls up the Status of those Linked Tasks, right now, it shows the Status of ALL the linked tasks. But you might want to only show the Status of linked tasks from one specific location. Other filters could be useful, too, like only showing Linked Tasks or Rollup data where Tasks with specific custom fields, specific statuses, etc etc, match. So if we could choose filters when creating a "Linked Tasks" column, and filters when creating a Rollup column where the "Related to" field is set to "Tasks", that would be amazing. This would, therefore, mean you could also add multiple "Linked Tasks" columns, each with different filters. Also, multiple filters and options for filters should be able to be set. E.g., choosing multiple locations, or location + custom field, etc. I have attached some mockups of the filter for the Rollup column to make things clearer for that specific case. One shows single filters, and the other shows multiple filters.
