Hi, I think include the internal links in the same time as new task creation would be a good feature as we can link other tasks in the same task window conveniently.

I am not sure whether I fully understand your issue. But I think this is not possible, as you don’t have a task-id before the task creation. Thus, you cannot refer to it yet.

Hi Alfredb, Thanks for the reply and I can understand what you mean. But is’t it possible to collect the internal task id’s and pass it with the add task form and after creating the main task, assign the internal tasks before the task creation finishes?

Yes, maybe it’s possible, somehow. By creating a plugin, almost everything is possible.😉

1. Collect the task IDs to reference in the description or a custom/meta field.
2. Use the reference hook `model:task:creation:aftersave` with a function that performs the linking.

No clue whether this will work and if it’s worth the effort it takes.
