You can now assign people to multiple project tasks at the same time. This feature helps you onboard new team members faster by adding them to several tasks in just a few clicks, without replacing anyone who is already assigned.
Overview
Bulk editing people allows you to add or remove assignees across one or multiple project tasks from the Tasks board.
Use this feature when you need to:
- Add a new team member to multiple tasks at once.
- Update task ownership for several tasks without editing them individually.
- Save time when managing large projects.
When editing multiple tasks, any selected people are added to every selected task. Existing assignees remain assigned, and duplicate assignments are automatically prevented.
How to use
- In your sidebar, go to Projects and choose a project
- Open the Tasks tab
- Select one or more tasks by checking the box in the corner
- In the bulk action bottom bar, click Edit people
- Select people to add them
- Clear the selection next to a person's name to remove them from the task
- Confirm your changes
If a person was not added twice to a task, this is expected behaviour. Each person can only be assigned once per task.
If existing assignees disappeared after updating multiple tasks, refresh the page and verify the task details. Bulk editing adds new people without replacing existing assignees. If the issue persists, contact the support team.
Tips and best practices
- Use filters before selecting tasks to update only the tasks you need
- Use the search bar to quickly find specific people
- Use Select all to add everyone matching the current filters
- When assigning multiple tasks, review your selection before confirming to ensure the right people are added
