Description

There are a few comments I want to make about the dropdown to select a task for a relationship, just minor improvements for the UX I'd fine useful, maybe someone else also would do so.

  • Have the tasks of the current project at the top of the options.
  • Have the ID of the task shown in the entry.
  • Not sure how useful is to have tasks mark as "done" in this list, so maybe remove them?
  • Add an always visible marker on the last entry to denote it creates a new task (right now you need to pay attention to a message which only appears when the entry is highlighted)
  • When searching only by ID, remove the option to create a new task (I've created several tasks with title #6)
  • Be able to use ID directly instead of prefixing it with #.

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?
