Much like an "undo send," it would be ideal to have a small "undo" button pop up whenever a task is completed. This would be helpful for accidental clicks or if you realize you completed something in error.

When assigning a placeholder, we are prompted: "Would you like to set the placeholder to [selected assignee] for all actions in this project?" This means placeholders are always applied project-wide, limiting flexibility. In many cases, teams do not yet know who will take over a specific action within a given project. A more granular placeholder assignment would improve task delegation and would allow for greater flexibility in team collaboration. Please introduce an option to assign placeholders only for the current action rather than all actions in the project.

Ideally there should be a field for Percent Complete where you can mark an action or sub action a percent complete 1-100%. If status is marked as complete it should automatically mark percent complete as 100%. You should also be able to choose if the sub actions average should roll up to the parent action. ex: if two sub actions are 50% complete it would mark the parent action as 50% complete. Evaluation of action performance is a metric that is just as important as project performance. Forecasting project completion especially if an action is a critical path in a project. It can affect budget management. It would improve action/task accountability, In-Progress doesn't tell a project manager if they are just starting or nearly finished but a Percent complete does.

Currently, the estimation of a task is divided by the number of days of the duration. It would be useful that we could enter a certain estimate per day/per week that then translates vice versa to the 'estimate' of that period. This is because for some projects, you have more work if that task takes longer, and it should not just be distributed.

Some projects have specific action requirements and changing template on every action is painful.

This seems like a no brainer but I would like to be able to edit the default action card for a project without having to create a new template, For instance, I want to add three custom fields to all new action cards. At this time, this requires me to create a new action card template and apply it to every new action card in the project. There are times when a new action template makes sense but not for every change to the default action card template for the project.

When copying an action from one project to another it would save us time if it also copied labels and assignees. Otherwise we have to add in all of the labels and assignees again.

On our team, we have "special teams" who are one or two person teams that always work on specific tasks for each and every project (project = action card), and then 10 or so designers who are each assigned to an overall project and rely on assistance from the special teams. Only one, maybe two, designer(s) is ever assigned to each action card at a time. For any given project, our special teams are always assigned to the same subactions via the action card templates, and any subactions that will eventually be assigned to the designer are left unassigned. If I know which designer will be working on a project, I can assign them to the card, and then apply the action card templates, which auto-assigns them to any subactions that are not yet assigned. But if I apply action card templates before assigning a designer, then I need to go and individually assign the designer to every unassigned subaction on that action card, as the only option you are given is to assign them to all subactions, or to none of them. It would be great if, when an unassigned action card that has subactions already set up (some of which are already assigned to users) is finally assigned, that you are given an option (whether prompted or automatically via settings) to assign all the still-unassigned subactions to the same user assigned to the action card. Something similar to placeholders would be great, but placeholders is a project-wide tool, so if I set up a Designer placeholder and assign it on one action card, it assigns that user to ALL our action cards (which can be upwards of 150+ action cards, depending on the time of year). I would love if this feature could be limited to individual action cards instead of being project-wide.

Currently, you can only add a Due Time to a card that does not already have a Start Date. Once you add a Start Date, you lose the ability to add a Due Time unless you clear the dates.

Is there a way that when assigning Hive action cards take into account that particular persons working days and working hours in that week. This would mean we dont manually have to go in and amend it to fit with their working days/weeks.
