Calendar View - Toggle to show project name instead of task name

Currently, when using a task view on the Calendar, you can hover over to see the status, stage, project name, etc. I would like to see a toggle added so that the blocks themselves on the calendar show the Project Name instead of the task name.

Context - we use the calendar to plot all of our installations for the day/week/month. Each task on the calendar has the same name from a template (installation). Thus, when we do our morning meetings it would be nice to see the Project Names directly in the calendar instead of having to hover over each individual task. We have reports to drill down already, but a visual guide like this would be much more useful!

I agree. We use the Calendar to show all our on-going projects (currently about 100) so we can prioritize, schedule, and track our work. It would indeed be nice to see the job name directly in the Calendar instead of having to hover over each item to see the name of each project in order to know how to schedule the day/week/month. We need to be able to see if a particular job has been postponed too far on the Calendar compared to other projects. We are a small company of 12 people. We do not operate like a large corporation with multiple departments. We also have set up To-do Lists, assigned Tasks, and use the Dashboard widgets. But, the Calendar with Project name would be so very useful.

Hi @Barbara Mihalik, thanks for adding your interest in this here, we've passed this on to the Product team 👍

If you need help with anything else let me know.

This will be a great feature. A lot of projects are of the same type and have the same generic task names. Showing the Project name along the task or having a toggle will be greatly helpful to see ongoing projects based on tasks.

Hi all, has this issue been addressed? We have the same problem as most of our projects have the same tasks names.

Thank you

Hi Lisa,
This is something that would also be immensely helpful for our team and have been trying to figure out a workaround for this. I did upvote but would love an update.

This would be extremely helpful. Our team would like to be able to choose to see the project name on the task in calendar without having to hover over the task on the calendar. Please make this happen!

Hi there! This is a key requirement our team needs please. It's a functionality you can toggle on Asana, Notion....I'm so surprised this is not yet prioritized. Please help!
