Add items directly to My Work 📝

[BiancaT (Bianca Taylor)]

Incase you missed it, it’s now possible to add items directly to My Work!

No need to navigate away from My Work anymore, simply add an item that is connected to a board with a people column , and it’s all done

Have you been taking advantage of this new release? Do you find that it’s saving time and increasing efficiency?

I love this feature. I particularly like the dialog box that lets you input all your data before creating the item.

Would it be possible to implement the same feature on all boards?
The regular function where all new items are added to the bottom of the top group isn’t always ideal, especially when you have a lot of filters/sorting applied to a board view.

I get a lot of complaints from users in my team that they are “losing” items they have created, because the items are created where they can’t see them.

I hear you Kasper and agree that this would be a valuable addition! If you don’t mind, would you be happy to submit this as a feature request so our community can add their vote and increase the likelihood of development

[kasperhusted]

Absolutely, and thank you for your reply.

Hi @BiancaT
I tried, but I do not have permission to create a topic in the feature request board (for some reason)

[BiancaT (Bianca Taylor)]

Oh sorry about this Kasper!

I am just having a look on the back-end… can you please try again? Thanks for your help!

[kasperhusted]

There is a workaround, so I did manage to post something (I think - it needs to be approved).

I have to go to the front page of the community board, to be able to click “Start a discussion”. I can’t do it anywhere else.

I think Monday already has this exact feature. There is a setting you can toggle for the board called „enable form for item creation“ which basically opens a form whenever creating an item and users can select the group the item is positioned in.

Thanks for letting me know Kasper - I will consult our community team to look into this behaviour…

That said, I will take a look at your request and approve it shortly

[kasperhusted]

Really? Where? I feel like I have looked everywhere

[MConsidine (Mike)]

I looked everywhere too. It sounds like it’s a feature in the CRM module but not in some of the other modules.

[Ozzy_O (Ozzy Osborne)]

@MConsidine You would need to create the form for entry first, then within those settings you can enable this. That then adds to the little drop down next to new item to have “new item via form”

[kasperhusted]

I see.

Not quite what I was looking for/suggesting, but I guess it would (sort of) do the trick.
