FAQ
Will completed tasks show up in the original order they had in a project?
No, completed tasks will show up at the bottom of a section's or parent task's active task list.
Why are my recurring tasks not visible in the completed tasks view inside projects?
A recurring task is a single task with a shifting due date, rather than multiple separate tasks. So when you complete your task, it will be registered in the Activity log, however, the task itself will not be moved to the completed tasks list.
Is it possible to always have completed tasks visible?
It's not currently possible to have completed tasks visible as a default. We may offer this option in the future.
Can I create a filter that includes completed tasks?
This is unfortunately not currently possible. Sorry!
