Notification, display who created the task

OpenShadowGaming100 (GitHub) · · edited

Problem Statement

When a task is created, the notification does not indicate which user created it. Instead, it shows "Triggered by Kaneo", which makes it harder to understand who performed the action without opening the task and checking its activity logs.

Proposed Solution

Display the name of the user who created the task directly in the notification.

For example:

John Doe created a new task: API Versioning

The notification could replace or supplement "Triggered by Kaneo" with the user who actually created the task.

This would provide the necessary context immediately without requiring users to open the task.

Alternative Solutions

Users can open the task in the dashboard and check the activity logs to find out who created it.

However, this adds an unnecessary step when the information could be displayed directly in the notification.

Relevant Context

Currently, the notification shows:

New task created: #15 API Versioning

New task created

A new task was added: API Versioning

Task #15 API Versioning
Project API
Status To Do
Priority No Priority

Triggered by Kaneo

The notification identifies Kaneo as the trigger, but does not show which user actually created the task.

The proposed change would replace or supplement "Triggered by Kaneo" with the name of the user who created the task.

Does this feature align with Kaneo's focus on simplicity?

Yes, because it provides useful context directly in the notification without adding another step to the user's workflow. Users can immediately see who created the task instead of opening the task and checking the activity logs.
