Unable to have anything beyond done bucket in Kanban

Description

We have a Check/Review bucket which is marked as Done bucket, so that tasks that are checked off in list view are reviewed before they are stashed away for good in the bucket named "Done". But when moving those tasks over to the "Done" bucket, they are marked undone, because it is not recognized as a Done bucket by Vikunja. Not sure how to sensibly solve this though. I guess the Kanban rework making task states individual will solve it, but until then this is a major problem in our workflow.

I would solve this with a label "needs review" or similar instead of using the "Done" bucket status for tasks which are not really done yet.


xeruf commented on 2024-03-11T11:24:54.000Z:

But then if you are working on the task you need to go into the task details view and meddle with labels rather than just hitting the satisfying checkbox, and everybody needs to be taught that. Actually at that point you may just stay in Kanban and move it manually rather than adding a label, but the whole point was to make it portable. Maybe a temporary fairly easy fix could be to allow multiple done buckets and automatically move done tasks to the first or last one, if the data structure allows that?

I wouldn't say this is an "easy" fix, I think we better solve that with the more flexible views.

To me, the problem you're having sounds like a process issue, not a software issue.

@xeruf: Might be, that I misunderstand this, but why don't you use the bucket named 'Done' as the Vikunja done bucket?

Because when you check off a task in the list view, I want it to go to the review bucket

This is coming up again and again - essentially we need stages of done-ness that the checkbox cycles through

I think moving across buckets when clicking the checkbox would be ideal, maybe with different icons inside the checkbox for indication, or automatic labels matching the buckets which complements https://community.vikunja.io/t/map-kanban-columns-to-filters/767/2 / https://github.com/go-vikunja/vikunja/issues/1390 / https://community.vikunja.io/t/allow-to-associate-kanban-buckets-to-labels/3399
