Milestone assignees

[AlexOddbratt]

I'm having some annoyances with assignments, especially for milestones.
Right now I have to manually add each user I want connected to a milestone so that it shows up in their upcoming dates tab.

Is it possible to somehow assign:
- everybody
- user groups 
- that projects team (best option)

Hi Alex,
Yes, you are correct. Milestones can only be assigned to users. How ever, relevant milestones should show up automatically users.
If you like I can add the ability to assign Milestones to everybody, user groups and teams as a feature request?

Hey Simon,

So in our case we're planning on adding milestones directly to a project, for things like VIP deliveries, and not to a task or shot. Your above comment regarding "relevant milestones should show up automatically users" doesn't seem to work which I'm guessing is kind of self explanatory as the "relevant" part is dependent on people being assigned to task.

So yes it would be awesome if it could be added as a feature request. Especially the teams part as I would think a milestone attached to a project should default to show up for everyone working on that project.

Hi Alex,
Great, I've added all the information in a feature request for our development team.
Thank you for your feedback!

Hi, Simon or others at ftrack.

We have started to use ftrack milestones in same manner as Alex had described in this discussion. For project general milestones: Edit Locks, VFX Deadlines and other important dates.

This works well in My Tasks -> Schedule for all artists to clearly see and notice upcoming dates for projects. But we would need to assign everyone in project team individually for each milestone, which is quite troublesome. Would it be possible to make milestones also accept groups, so we could just type necessary group instead? This functionality still doesn't seem to exist.

Thanks,

Saku
