Pre-submission checklist

  • I have searched for existing open or closed issue reports with the same feature request.

Description

Please can you consider the following Product requirement?

When I view all tasks in the Overview menu, it shows the Project, but it doesn't show the bucket within the project. Can you please introduce this feature?

For example, I have created this card (test task), and it's in List 1 within the zTEST project:

In the Overview menu, it only shows it in zTEST, but I would like it to also show the bucket (e.g. in this case, it would also show List 1)

Which alternatives did you consider using instead?

I fear this would become very noisy for people who don't want to see it but only want to use the list view. How would you counter this?

This is how it is shown in Trello - doesn't seem noisy when spaced out properly:

And for the sake of mapping:
Board (Trello) = Project (Vikunja)
List (Trello) = Bucket (Vikunja)
Card (Trello) = Task (Vikunja)

What would it look like in list view in Vikunja?

So, in the Overview page, you already show Project - Task - Label - Assignees - Due Date

What I'm asking for is to also include the bucket after Project and before Task. Maybe in a tabular format - like this:

There's already a table view that could do this. Still, how would this work when a task is in many buckets across many different views?

My primary use case is that if I have more than 1 card with the same title in different buckets, it's hard for me to tell which bucket it belongs to without having to click on it. I would prefer an option to view the bucket in the overview page.

Can a task exist in more than one bucket in Vikunja?

Yes. You can have multiple kanban views for a project that each contain the same task in different buckets, or include the same task in different saved filters which also have a kanban board.

I was looking for the exact same feature and I understand that it only makes sense if there is only one Kanban view available. Couldn't we do it as an option that is only available when there is only exactely one Kanban view present in a project, or simpler, that it will just pick the first Kanban view, or allow the user to select which Kanban view to use in the table view for the buckets?

Good suggestion. +1 this.
