Utilizing Pre-fix's on Tasks = [Prefix] Task Name

I want to utilize the prefix when creating tasks, like what currently exists when you duplicate a project . So it would look like:

[Prefix] Task Name

I also want to specify multiple prefixes, preferably as many as a I want.

[Prefix1][Prefix2] Task Name

Hi! Is there an update on this product feature request? I am also looking to add a prefix to my request-form/generated-from-blueprint tasks.

Actions upon submission: Create New Task
Question: Drop-down. Selected Option: Nevada
If this option is selected, Replace task: Blueprint Task A.

Would love to have the option add a prefix to the Blueprint task. "Nevada Blueprint Task A" For Example.

Thanks!

@[Deleted User] Just to confirm, is this upcoming feature going to give us the option to add a prefix to a task blueprint's subtasks, like we have the option to do with a project blueprint? (See screenshot attached for visual reference.) Our Agile Marketing team had a Retro yesterday and this was the #1 "dark matter" cause for the team, with repeatable tasks being the biggest culprit.

For example, a few people on the team are involved in a YouTube live show every other Friday. We use a blueprint, so the subtasks have the exact same name every time. But let's say our copywriter is on vacation and can't write the description until a week later, she's going to see two tasks on her to-do list (technically subtasks) that have the same name. So she would have to click to see which one is which week's episode. If we could easily add a prefix to all subtasks when we launch a task Blueprint (which we use ALLLLLLL the time) this would solve this issue for SOOOOO many people on the team because they would all be able to quickly visualize exactly what their subtask is contributing to. Manually adding task prefixes is something I tried, but it's not sustainable... I just don't have that kind of time in my schedule.

Current Project Blueprint prefix option that would be insanely helpful on TASK Blueprints! 🙌

Can someone tell me where the feature is located? It says it's been launched.

Hi @Jovana Rodriguez 👋

This is available for tasks created from Blueprints. You can find more information in this Help Center article: “Creating a Task from a Blueprint.”

In it, you’ll see instructions on how to add a name prefix, which will be applied to the names of all work items created from that Blueprint. Please take a look at the article for full details, and let us know if you have any questions. Thanks!
