Currently, when using a custom view with Kanban where the bucket configuration mode is set to “Filter”, there is no option to create a new task directly in this custom view. This limitation makes it impossible to create new tasks in this view without switching to another view, which disrupts the workflow.
Possible Solutions:
Easy Solution: Add a global “Create New Task” button somewhere in the Kanban view.
Nice Solution: Add a “Create New Task” button for each bucket that automatically assigns the filter options configured for that bucket to the new task.
You can always use the global quick action for this (ctrl k, then “new task”)
This is really hard to do - and there are cases where it’s impossible, for example when you have tasks from two projects in one bucket (A task can always belong to one project only).
Filters are very flexible and it’s not really possible to resolve them back to a unique set of attributes for a task.
The keyboard shortcut is a great solution for power users, and I can live with that. However, if the tool should also be used by less experienced users, I would still suggest adding a visible global button in the (custom filtered) Kanban view.
