Add Task/Sub-action Preview While Selecting Dependencies
Shreyash Ojha
Currently, when adding a dependency to an action or sub-action in Hive, the selection window displays a list of actions with limited identifying information. When multiple tasks or sub-actions have similar or identical names, it becomes difficult to identify the correct item.
Proposed Improvement:
Introduce a small preview panel, tooltip, or expandable information card when hovering over or selecting an action/sub-action in the dependency selection window.
The preview could display useful identifying details such as:
- Full task or sub-action title
- Parent action or project name
- Assignee
- Current status
- Due date
- Simple ID or Ticket ID (if available)
This would allow users to verify that they are selecting the correct action before adding the dependency.
Expected Behaviour:
Ideally, users should be able to hover over an item or click a small preview icon to see its details without leaving the dependency selection window.
This would be particularly useful for teams managing multiple projects with similar task names, nested sub-actions, or large numbers of tickets.
The goal is to make dependency management more intuitive, reduce accidental dependency assignments, and save time spent identifying the correct actions.
A small contextual preview could make a significant difference to the overall user experience.
