Converting a regular/standalone task into a note (the same steps apply in reverse)

What are notes?

You can store important information that doesn’t necessarily belong in a task or isn't an action item. They function like a simple document or notepad inside your project. They help keep key details easily accessible to everyone without needing to attach them to a specific task.

You can use notes to capture things such as:

- Meeting minutes

- Guidelines or instructions

- Reference information

Understanding notes:

  • Workspace Guests are permitted to this feature.

  • When converting from a task to a note:

    • Assignees will become followers.

    • Some task data will be lost: Due Dates, Time Spent & Checklists.

    • Some will remain the same: Description, Location, Tags, Label, GitHub, Comments, and Files & Links. Subtasks will be converted to regular tasks and detached from their parent tasks.

  • When converting from a note to a task, all data will be kept as is.

How to convert a task to a note:

1 - Right-click on the task/note you would like to convert, or open the task window and click on the 3 dots in the top right corner.

2 - Select Convert task to note or Convert note to task.

3 - A pop-up window will appear with all the information you should know before converting.

4 - Click Confirm.

Converting a regular/standalone task into a subtask (the same steps apply in reverse)

1 - Open the task and its properties window.

2 - Click on the 3-dot icon in the top right corner of the task window.

3 - Select Convert to subtask, a pop-up window will appear.

4 - Confirm the main task that this subtask should be linked to - You can select any main task across the workspace, as long as you have the member rights. You can also limit the results to the current project.

5 - Tick the box at the bottom if you would like to convert the main task into the subtask in the same tasklist.

6 - Click Confirm. - Your regular task is now a subtask!
