Task selection after a search

[adrien-delhorme]

Description

In the "Time" tab: after searching for a project in the dropdown, I can no longer select a task. If I search for a task, it is difficult to find the right project. I have 30 projects, each of them have the same 5 tasks.

Is it possible to display the tasks dropdown for each project after a search? Or to search both projects and tasks at the same time? Maybe with a syntax like myprojectname/mytaskname?

Thanks for the report. So you can search for a task in the dropdown and for a project, but you want to search for a project and a task simultaneously? Do I understand that correctly?

I have 50+ clients and 100+ projects.
Each client has about the same projects (website, intranet, etc).
Each project has about the same tasks (eg. dev, meetings, support, design, etc).

1. When I search by client name, I get a list of projects, but I can't chose the task.
2. When I search by project name, I get a list of 50 projects (one for each of my client), then I need to scroll to find the right client, and I still can't chose the task.
3. When I search by task name, I get a list of 100 projects...

Clockify does not search in task names (unless you enable a setting in your profile), but I can always chose a task whatever my search was.

Maybe you can enable search for client/project/task with a special character (for example: "/"):

• "firstcli/web/meet" will search for clients containing "firstcli", projects containing "web" and tasks containing "meet"
• "secondcli/int" will search for clients containing "secondcli" and projects containing "int" and list all tasks for the project
• "thirdcli" will search only for clients containing "thirdcli" but list all projects and tasks for the client

Honestly I do not know what is the best solution: the Clockify search bar is not perfect either.
