Tasks

Assignees

Assign one or more teammates to a task with the member picker — and understand what Members can and can't change.

A task can have multiple assignees. You add them with a member picker on the task form or drawer.

Before you start
Role
OwnerAdminManagerMember

The manage tier can assign anyone. A Member can add or remove only themselves.

Where to find it

Open a task (click it for the drawer, or open its detail/edit page) and use the member picker.

How assignees work

  • A task can have multiple assignees — there's no primary or lead. The maximum is 20.
  • With no one assigned, the task shows Unassigned.
  • Manage-tier roles can assign anyone in the workspace.
  • A Member can only add or remove themselves.

Assign a task

Open the task

Click the task to open its drawer, or open its edit page.

Pick assignees

Use the member picker to add people. Add as many as you need, up to 20.

Save

Save the task.

Assigning a task to a Member auto-adds them to the project — you don't need to enrol them on the Members tab first. See Project members.

What happens next

Assignees can find the task in their views and can edit the task's fields. Remember: an assigned Member can edit the task but still can't archive or delete it.
