External Communications in Wrike
Recently my team has expanded its use of Wrike to include tracking external communications, specifically executive communications and crisis management. Prior to this, our work within the platform was focused on collaborative GTM and program support initiated via a request form. I wanted to check with the larger Wrike…

Request Form Workflow Refinement
Hey everyone, we use Wrike's request forms to process some material requests from one of our departments. Long story short, I am hoping to improve tracability. Currently, a request is made and submitted to a few people for approval. As you may know, the requests are given a seemingly random ID such as 4512039827. When we…

Automation to assign a task to one user from a group, round-robin
We have a dev team that uses wrike for dev tasks. When we're ready to put one into code review (or content review, or stakeholder review) I'd be nice if wrike could be set up to auto assign the review to one person in the group (i know it can do the whole group, which is what we do now and is annoying to sort out for every…

Missing task-based time logged roll-up? I have a workaround that works!
One of the things I've been missing in Wrike is the ability to roll-up time spent from sub-tasks to the parent task. It rolls up to the project level, but not to the parent task level. If you too have been missing this, worry no longer for I have found a workaround! (Well, I have adapted Rohan V's workaround from here: To…

Customizable message for proofs
We use Wrike for reviewing graphic design proofs of marketing materials with our clients. I do not see a way to customize this message when someone views a design proof in Wrike. This is very confusing for our clients because "Now you can give a decision for a task" doesn't really make sense. Can you please allow us to…

Subtask Naming Automation
I’d like the ability to use automations to name subtasks dynamically based on the parent task’s name, with an added prefix or suffix. Because multiple date-range fields are not currently supported, I’ve been exploring a workaround where automations create and update subtasks with a custom item type. This would allow me to…

Limitation with AI Agents: Bulk actions on "Subitems" lack data context in the prompt
Hello Wrike Community! I am trying to build an AI Agent to enforce a naming convention, and I keep hitting a wall with how the AI handles bulk actions on subitems. My Goal: When a Project's status changes to "In Progress," I want the AI Agent to append the Project's name to the end of all Task names within that project (if…

Customizable tab layout for task/item view
TL;DR: Allow admins to create a custom, mobile-friendly task tab where key fields, widgets, and actions from across the task can be placed in one organized view. Layouts should ideally be assignable by project, folder, space, role, group, or user type, so different users can see only what is relevant to them. Request: It…

Wrike+Outlook -> create Task and fill CustomFields
It would be very useful if, when creating tasks via email, custom fields could be directly populated (JSON and field IDs). This would eliminate the need for individual access tokens in automated scripts and allow direct work with email accounts.
-
Consolidate files into version stack
Often times multiple files will get uploaded to a task independently, but they really should be added as versions. It would be great if I could create a version stack/history from the files that already are in the task rather than uploading new files. This would consolidate the number of files and help avoid confusion on…
-
Apply Custom Field to Tasks or Folders Only
It would be helpful to be able to set up custom fields to show either on just the folder level, or just the task level. The only way for custom fields to show on tasks is to have it also show on all projects and folders. This often over-saturates how many fields display at the project or folder level when the field really…
-
Roll up "Duration" to project level
We consistently have business partners and leaders asking how long projects will take, and it would be great if the duration field could roll up to the project level. We can build a formula custom field based on start date and due date, but it does not account for business/working days only.

Highlight Critical Path for Parent Tasks and Subtasks at All Levels
Critical Path for projects is a key communication tool for all levels of an organization. Displaying the critical path should be as transparent as possible, regardless of the levels of subtasks. Current behavior: Critical path only highlights the last tasks in the project timeline. When a parent task is collapsed that…

Split up "Created By Me" & "Assigned to Me Notifications"
I manage a Wrike workspace for my team. Each month, I launch an upload of near-reoccurring tasks. This upload of ~400 tasks is split by assignee. The problem is that I get notifications for all the tasks because the default is that "Created by me" and "Assigned to me" are treated the same. I only want notifications on…

Creating an item as when adding a dependency
Currently when adding predecessors or successors to tasks, you are able to search for an existing item to add. It would nice to be able to create a task from this view.

Wrike Bulk Blueprint creator
Could you please confirm whether we can create multiple tasks for different folders using a single blueprint?

Why would a task dependency not populate?
My team has some built blueprints, and each task has a viable dependency for predecessor/successor when viewing as a blueprint. However, when generating the specific blueprint, there are some tasks that do not generate the necessary predecessor/successor. I've searched the help center but cannot find anything related to my…

Allow mass editing of toggling "Working Days Only" on or of for tasks
There is currently no way to mass update task's "Working Days Only" on/off switch which makes it an impossibly long and tedious job to open each task one by one to update it manually. Is this feature something that will be available soon?

"Next Week" and "Next Month" support in Due Date filter for custom reports
I love having a "Due This Week" and "Completed This Week" report that updates as I finish tasks. Would be great if I could compare "Due This Week" and a "Due Next Week" report, so I can load balance easier. Obviously, I can make a +7 or +14 days report, but that gets big fast and changes based on whether I check it Monday…

Request: Duration as an Automation Condition
Sometimes tasks of short duration don't have the same automation needs as long tasks. For instance, if a task has a duration of 1 day or less than one week, I don't need everything to kick off. However, duration is not a field you can use for conditions, and even if you create a custom field with a formula that pulls in…

How to assign a task in Wrike
TL;DR: To assign a task in Wrike, open the task, click the Assignee button, and select a team member (or yourself). The assignee gets notified automatically, and the task appears in their My To-Do list. Hey Community! 👋 Assigning tasks is one of the very first things you'll do in Wrike, whether you're handing off work to a…

Task Effort "For Today" in Dashboard Widgets
My team uses a shared dashboard to manage their daily tasks, reviews, etc. The problem we're having is that some flexible tasks spanning multiple days don't always have effort assigned to each day. Because of this, the task shows up on their dashboard, appearing like a task they need to work on. Additionally, the team…

Task description templates
A really handy feature would be the ability to create and apply templates to task descriptions outside of custom item types and blueprints. Although those are always my first line of defense for making sure certain types of work are pre-loaded with the best possible description, I've noticed over the years that there are…

Request: "Is Not" / Exclude Functionality in Automation Conditions
Automation conditions only allow you to select what is there, but they should allow you to exclude as well. There are a million use cases for this. For instance, if certain people are assigned to a task, then other automations do not need to kick off. Condition: Assignee "Is Not" [Name]. Or, if I create a task today that's…

Misleading Cascade Button
When we have many selections in a dropdown, you move the mouse to click on the "+X" to view the extra selections. But as you click on it, the "+X" changes to the cascade button. This is confusing and misleading UX.

Description of file when added to task
Hi - It would be useful to have an area to add a description of a file that has been added to a task. This could appear beneath/next to the filename, or visible when you hover over the filename.
