How can I assign multiple Tasks to one Due Date/Assignee without multiple @ assigns?

Question

Hello,

I've been wondering and struggling with the Task Concept of Confluence.
I wanted to create a Task List with certain Subtasks in a form similar to this:

* [] Task //Due Date @Assignee*

The problem with this is the fact that I have to add an Assignee and Due Date for each Task individually for it to properly show in a Task Report, but this seems a littel bit chunky when I have a page repeating a name 50 times.
Is there a way to do this? If not, workaround or not?

Whoops! Thank you for pointing that out. I actually linked the wrong Feature Request. Here it is:

* CONFSERVER-54756 - Multiple tasks, one due date

I've also made a new one for the multiple tasks under one user request:

* CONFSERVER-54776 - Multiple tasks, one user

At this time, it's only possible to use this format:

@User [TASK] due date

For each task.

I hope that's clear!

Regards,

Shannon

Hi Shannon,

I was trying to find an answer to this question as well.

Based on the description of the listed feature request, it is for assigning one task to multiple people.

Myself (and Nicolas) would like to assign multiple tasks to one person without needing to assign each individual task to the same person. Is there a feature request for that to follow?

i.e.

@Person1

* [] Task 1
* [] Task 2

Person would see all tasks under their name in their task list; and in a task report, it would list that person as the assignee on all tasks in that list.

Rather than

[] Task @Person1 @Person2

Where Person1 and Person2 would both see one task.
