"Create a task" as an action for blueprint!
Due to all tasks in a project having to have the same task template, I've had to build my system using several different projects for my overall workflow. When something reaches the end of a pipeline in one project, it necessitates the creation of a task in another project to continue on in my overall pipeline. This creates an extra work step for me as I have to then create that task.
Right now, my workaround is an email alert which hits a filter in my Zoho Mail box, which triggers an email to be sent back to zoho projects to create a task in the appropriate project. There are many problems with this, including the inability to put it in the right task list, not carrying over important info from the old task, etc.
I'd like to see Zoho Projects add an action to the "after" step of a transition to create a new task, and which would allow you to carry over information from the fields of the task to the new task you're creating.

Tip: How to print the Gantt View
Though we move from the traditional project management system (using papers) to an online project management system, we still prefer to have a printed copy of the activities/tasks that are to be done in the project. This way, we can carry the to-do lists with us for the meetings and refer when we are offline. The print option, available at the right side of the page, allows the users to print the project information across all the modules. However, this option failed to print all the tasks & milestonesProject Management via Emails in Zoho Projects

"Nothing is particularly hard if you divide it into small jobs." - Henry Ford Projects, small or large, are driven by simple work units called tasks. Monitoring standalone tasks might look simple but as the workflow becomes elaborate, tasks may start relying on one another. In project management, this relationship between tasks is termed as "Task Dependencies". Dependency between tasks ariseTask and Project numbering
Zoho Projects now generates a unique number for each project, task, and issue added. The auto-generated ID is a combination of a prefix and a number which is assigned by Zoho Projects. The unique IDs for projects, tasks, and issues will be useful to track, identify, and search easily. You can modify the settings to enable or disable the Project and Task IDs. Learn more on how to modify Prefix & ID settings for projects and tasks. Issue IDs cannot be disabled, only its prefix can be changed (tasksTask Inline Editing Enhancement
Hi All, Today, we have made an enhancement in task inline editing. In 4.0, task edit is moved in a single screen in a pop-up. We designed this in-order to make the task edit across the product to be the same. Let it be in Feeds, Tasks & My Tasks tab, Calendar & My Calendar tab, a click on the task title will open the popup and user can edit the values. Customers pointed us the inline editing was very useful to them & how much they miss that in 4.0. Based on the feedback, we have rolled out this enhancement.
