New tasks and quick add
Type !high, @me, #tag or tomorrow into a title to set fields.
Every task goes under an epic. Make one from New task on an epic page or a list, with C in a list, or with New task from an epic's right-click menu.
The New task dialogLink to this section
- Pick a type with the buttons at the top. Task is picked unless you choose another. See Task types.
- Type the title. It can carry fields, as described below.
- Choose the epic, if you didn't start from one.
- Add a description if you want one, then press Create task.
If the area has no epics yet, the dialog says so. Add an epic first. See Epics.
New epics use the same dialog, with an Area picker in place of the epic picker and no type buttons.
Quick addLink to this section
You can set fields by typing them into the title. Badges under the box show what Suru Me read, so you can check before you save. When it has read nothing, a tip line shows instead.

This is the dialog's own type picker and title box, on a made-up project. The table under it shows the task you'd get.
!highsets Priority. Any start of a value works, so!critmeans Critical. This needs a Priority field chosen in Project settings.@anaassigns the task to that login.@meassigns it to you.#clientadds a tag, and makes the tag if it's new. A tag has to start with a letter, so#3stays in the title.today,tomorrowor a weekday as the last word sets the due date. Short forms likefriwork.bug:,feat:or another type as the first word picks the task type. See Task types.
Quick add works in the New epic dialog too, for priority, assignee, tags and due date. A type prefix typed there is dropped from the epic's title.
Things that stay in the titleLink to this section
- A day word anywhere other than the end. "Prep Monday demo" keeps "Monday".
- A weekday that names today means a week away, not today. Use
todayfor today. - Words for fields the project doesn't have. If there's no due-date field,
tomorrowstays as text. Turn off the switch in the example above to see it. - A title that's only one word.
fridayalone is a task called "friday".
