Multiple assignees in custom tasks

Product Area: Custom Tasks

Impact of Change: Improves collaboration for shared tasks. Enables teams to distribute work efficiently without creating duplicate tasks or confusion.

Roles Impacted: Any user who creates or edits custom tasks.

Description:

Earlier: Tasks could only be assigned to a single person. For collaborative work, users had to manually duplicate tasks to track shared responsibility.

Now: Users can assign a task to multiple team members or teams directly from the task creation or edit screen. Each assignee receives the same task and related notifications, enabling shared accountability and visibility for progress.

Key Updates:

• Multiple assignees can be selected from the assignee dropdown when creating or editing a task.
• Selected assignees are shown in the dropdown with checkboxes.
• Notifications are sent to all assignees.

• Any assignee can mark the task as complete. Completion updates are shared with remaining assignees.
