select multible subtasks in item view for mass-editing

I can easily create several subtasks using item view. But if I want to delete them, or add an asignee, I have to open each subtask one by one, or change to table view to be able to perform mass-editing. And switching to table view may take even more time, depending of where I'm currently working.

So please add the mass editing functionality to item view, just by shift-clicking subtasks. 😃

Hi @Florian Kislich, thank you for creating this post. As you pointed out, this is possible in the New Table view. Do I understand correctly that you're experiencing a slow performance when using this view? Or you're referring to something different?

Thank you!

Hello @[Deleted User],

no, you didn't get me right. My request is mass-editing of subtasks in item view. I don't use list or table view in every folder as standard. Let's say I'm using board view, and I even don't have cofigured a table view in this folder. I have a task opened and I create some new subtasks. This can be done very fast. But assigning all new tasks to myself takes a lot of time!

... I either have to edit each task manually, or create a new table view and set up the correct filters to be able to edit all tasks at once. Do you understand?

Thank you for your reply, @Florian Kislich, I perfectly understand now and I've shared your use case with our Product Team. At the moment, as you have mentioned, the New Table view would be the best workaround to achieve this.

Please do that, this would be helpful!

Hi @Matthias Bäumler, thank you for voicing your interest in this idea 👍

Hey I wanted to follow up with this. Sometimes I need to edit all the subtasks, change dependencies and if you're not going to let me do it in the item view, than a button that would open it up into the table view would work. It is such a pain.

Thank you for your feedback @Shiann Weiss! Do I understand correctly that you're not currently reviewing your work from the table view initially?

Is this really not possible?!

Florian Kislich

It has improved a lot since the new suitem view (Subitems Lists within Item View in Wrike Labs 🧪 – Wrike Help Center),

but unfortunately the didn't include mass editing so far.

Welcome to the Community, @Øivind Monsen Nyvoll As of now, mass editing of subtasks directly in the item view is not supported. Users can switch to the table view to perform mass edits. In the table view, you can select multiple tasks or subtasks and apply changes such as status updates and assignee changes.

Hi @Florian Kislich, thanks for the support and referencing this article!

Our team is considering several ways of enhancing the subitems lists at the moment. We will keep you posted as and when we have new updates.

Thanks again!
