  4. Same-named sub projects of multiple different parent projects cause ambiguity in the UI when creating work packages

Same-named sub projects of multiple different parent projects cause ambiguity in the UI when creating work packages

Added by Kerim Güney about 4 years ago

Hi all,

we're currently evaluating OpenProject for our company and love it so far but there's one use case that could be handled a bit better. Namely the ambiguity issues (in the UI but also default project ID's) when two subprojects of two different parent projects have the same name. E.g. in the https://op.compay.com/work_packages view.

We tried adjusting our projects structure but there are repeats in every case. Would it be possible to somehow indicate the parent in cases like these?

Hi Kerim, 

As there is no option to indicate the parent in the case you have described I would recommend you to give the subprojects unique names (maybe just add something to it)  so you can distinguish it more easily.

Kind regards
Samantha
