It would be so helpful to be able to add dependencies when having a form submission create an action card based on an action template/project template. Either added to the action card template set up or in the form set up! When project flows are consistent and certain action cards will always be dependent on anothe specific action card, it would be super helpful to get that process automated.

I need to see the action ID without needing to open the task and I also need to add 4 letters before the action ID number (example: Currently action ID is of three numbers "533") I want to be able to name it according to section (example: Section name: Football, action ID: "FOOT-533")

It would be great if the time estimate on a task would automatically adjust based on the amount of work being done in the task. This could be accomplished by allowing the time estimate to be determined by a formula. The formula should be able to use any native datapoint found in Hive AND values from custom fields. We'd also need the ability to set up this formula per task type/task template, since the amount of time the task takes per unit of work changes from one task type to the next. The specific use case that would help me would look like this: "Time Estimate = [Custom Field Value] * 5" In this case, the custom field would be the "#of Properties" field. Another example: "Time Estimate = If/then Statement" "If [Custom Field] = Value A, Then [Time Estimate] = 4 Hours If [Custom Field] = Value B, Then [Time Estimate] = 6Hours" In this case, the custom field would be contract type. Another example: "Time Estimate =([Action Duration] * 5) / 60" These are examples of the kinds of variables that should be included in the formula options. This would be extremely helpful for routine tasks that don't require in-depth scoping for time estimates.

Recurring tickets do not currently allow users to duplicate approval rounds, only the ticket title/description/assignee(s). This means that users have to go in and manually add the approval rounds each time a ticket "recurs." For example, I have a weekly recurring ticket that requires two individuals to review/approve. Rather than simply carrying over the approval rounds, I have to manually go in each week to add the approval rounds.

It would be very useful if there was an option in setting up views to include archived projects. We lost a lot of open actions when a project was accidentally closed before it was reviewed properly.

Currently, dependencies are tied to finish and start dates. This feature would permit the dependent actions to shift sooner or later in relation to the completion of the parent action.

Clicking a notification almost always means I am about to take care of what I was notified about. Once I do, the notification has served its purpose and simply adds clutter to the list. If something changes in the action that requires my renewed attention, I will receive a new notification. On the rare occasion that I do want to keep a notification, I can always unarchive / pin it manually. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add a setting to automatically archive or dismiss a notification when it is clicked. Let users choose the behaviour that fits their workflow: – archive the notification upon click – or keep it unarchived This would eliminate a large number of unnecessary clicks and make notifications far more useful. Especially for team and project managers. It would be a small change in design, but a game changer in day-to-day use of Hive.

Currently, when you ask Buzz to move an action card to a specific phase, for example the Execution phase, Buzz creates a new custom status and then changes the status on the action card to match it. Buzz doesn't recognize phases specified on projects.

It would be useful to be able to turn off the link previews in hive action card chat comments. The option can be quite messy if there are multiple links in a comment. If it could mirror the functionality seen in SLACK it would be good, or just being able to remove it per link would be helpful.
