Use teams to represent groups of people, then assign the project to a team instead of individuals.

What's the use case doing it like this rather than using teams?

It'd be a major change because the data structures are setup to accept single values for this field.

This is because if my organization have 30 people and i want that some task should assigned to 2 people and some task should assigned to 3 people so i have to create so many team.so for 30 people organization there are so many combination of people.So redundancy increases..is there any way to make it multi select.

Another major issue is when click on "assigned to" it also shows the people in other organization.It should show only the people on perticular organization..This can be done if "assigned to" field is dependent on organization field.How can i do this??

I disagree. At minimum I think assign to should include people of the organization and the option of people of the host organization. We use storm organizations for clients, and it would make sense to assign tickets/tasks associated with client organizations to people in the host organization (us).

yes i agree with you but if one person is in two organizations then it shows same name two times in "assigned to".Can you teel me how to do this?I think I can do like that by changing stormproject.js and some changes in stormproject.module

Hi ,

I have the same issue with assigned to. Here is the scenario.

1. We have organization called ABC. And 50 employees are working under the organization.
2. I added all those employees as Add Persons.
3. Now i created a project called P1. And i created a task called T1 where employees E1, E2, E10 are working on particular task T1.

Since in task i cannot select multiple persons since multi select is not available. The only way is i have to make a team as TEAM1 with E1, E2, E10 and assigned the task to team TEAM1.

Here is the problem . Now i have one more task called T2 and employees E3, E2, E10 are working on that particular task. Since multiselect assigned to is not available again i have to create TEAM called TEAM2 and assign E3, E2, E10 as persons in team and assign the team TEAM2 to task T2.

In this way i will end up creating so many TEAMS for a particular project. For example if we have 5 people in a team then no of possible teams is 2 power n - n - 1.For example team of 10 people can have combinations 1013 combinations.

So ultimately i cannot create that many teams and so much redundancy. Instead of that why cannot i select directly, assigned to as multi select and i can select directly from user reference instead of creating teams.

Please let me know solution for the above scenario using storm. The above concept works perfectly if you are assigning to single person. But if multiple persons then the problem comes.

Help is very much appreciated. I assume that solution to the above problem is making assigned to as multi select and use user references instead of using add person and teams concept.

Cheers,
Anil Sagar
