[Feature]: Hide tasks from the sidebar
Author: gaspard-lemrockCreated Sep 10, 2026Updated Sep 10, 2026
Problem / Use Case
The sidebar Tasks section shows every task in the workspace, including colleagues' tasks I no longer need to follow. The list gets long and noisy, with no way to trim it for my own view.
Proposed Solution
Add a "Hide task" action to the task context menu (next to "Rename task" and "Manage permissions"). Hiding is a personal, per-user preference: the task stays visible for everyone else and can be shown again from a "Show hidden tasks" toggle or filter.
Alternative Solutions Considered
- Archiving the task, but that affects the whole team and is only appropriate when the task is really done.
- Grouping tasks by directory (#1065) helps organise, but does not remove tasks I don't care about.
