Create and update issues

Capture work with ownership, priority, tags, status, and structured context.

An issue represents a unit of work. Its title identifies the work; its other properties explain ownership, importance, classification, and progress.

Issue properties

PropertyRequirementBehavior
TitleRequiredCannot be empty or removed after creation
DescriptionOptionalSupports structured text and media
StatusOne required statusDefaults to Backlog when not selected
AssigneeOptionalAt most one workspace member
PriorityOptionalLow, Medium, High, or Urgent
TagsOptionalAny number of workspace tags
ParentOptionalPlaces the issue beneath another issue

Create an issue

  1. Open Issues.
  2. Select New issue.
  3. Enter a title.
  4. Add any optional properties that are already known.
  5. Select Create issue.

Quadratique disables creation until the issue has a title. Canceling the form does not create a partial issue.

Edit an issue

Open an issue to change its title, description, status, assignee, priority, or tags. Each saved change updates the existing issue; it does not create another one or clear unrelated properties.

Assignment

Choose one member as the assignee, replace the current assignee, or return the issue to an unassigned state.

Priority

Choose Low, Medium, High, or Urgent. Clear the priority when the issue no longer needs an explicit ranking.

Tags

Apply existing tags from the workspace catalog. Removing a tag from one issue does not delete the tag or remove it from other issues.

Status

Change the status from the issue detail, list, or board. The current status is shared across those views.

Add a sub-issue

Use Add sub-issue from an issue to break it into smaller work. Sub-issues have the same properties as other issues and can contain sub-issues of their own.

Remove an issue from active work

Archive work you may need again. Permanently delete an issue only when its history is no longer needed.
