Subtask Toggling

I would like to request the ability to toggle between subtasks. Currently, if you are in a subtask, you need to click out of it to go back to the task to see the other subtasks. I believe having arrows to the mid section of the subtask, allowing you to go to the next subtask, or to the previous subtask, would increase efficiency for those using the subtask feature.

Thanks a lot for this feedback @Nicole DiTrani!

Could you tell me which Wrike view you're using when working with subtasks?

Table View > Task

QA for Bug Fix is main tasks, then we log bugs underneath. It would be very nice to be able to click on one subtask and go to the next with an arrow, rather than clicking back into the parent task.

Understood, thanks for the extra detail @Nicole DiTrani 🙂 Passing your feedback to the team now 👍

YESSSSS!! OMG YES this feature is so badly needed! I've been getting feedback from our creative team recently that there's a lot of time spent clicking out of their subtask to go to the main task to read the description from the intake form. Or they right-click to open their subtask in another tab so they can refer back to the main one.

I'm mostly responsible for setting up all new requests with the applicable blueprint or adding custom subtasks depending on the ask. I also waste SO much time clicking between subtasks.

I struggled to even find this community suggestion because I wasn't quite sure how to word it. Luckily the new AI search feature found it when I typed "advance to next subtask"! 🙌 I bet this would get more votes if members knew this suggestion existed.

Hey Wrike team, just jumping in again to say how incredibly helpful this added feature would be for faster navigation! I'm really surprised it doesn't have more votes. My team asks me all the time if you guys have added this functionality yet.

Most of the time I'm working in the Board view or a Dashboard, so having the ability to quickly jump to the next (or previous) subtask just isn't an easy option for me. This goes for most of my coworkers as well. Sometimes we have two windows on the same monitor (ex: meeting on one side, Wrike on the other to screenshare) so even if we're on Table view, the subtask names are difficult to see since they get blocked by the item view. And in our case, we typically apply naming conventions to the front of every creative task, so that makes it even harder to jump between subtasks because that's usually all we can see on the Table view unless we expand the Name column.

Since everything above the description gets pinned to the top when you scroll through a task, I think the most logical place to jump between subtasks would be next to the subtask name. That's always the first place we look to see if we're even in a subtask (vs the parent task). Here's a simple mockup with arrows, highlighted in yellow. Thank you so much for the consideration and please let me know if anyone on the Product team wants to chat with me about this idea. I'm happy to provide more details!
