Docs feedback - feature proposal: Create dedicated TODO via task list entry + @user_name
Problem to solve
As a developer, I want GitLab to create a new TODO for each task list entry with @my-user-name, so I don't have to create those (multiple and non-volatile) TODOs manually and work more efficient.
Here is an example for some made up collaborative UI work, which should create 2 TODOs for my-user-name and 1 TODO for other-user-name:
- [ ] rewrite paragraph X @my-user-name
- [ ] create a figure for Y @my-user-name
- [ ] do other stuff Z @other-user-name
Currently and if I understand correctly, at most 1 TODO is created (because of the @mention) for each user and cleared automatically as soon as the user visits the relevant issue / MR / place of the task list. This was my impression, when I tested it in a comment of an issue in GitLab Community Edition 12.9.3.
Further idea: The check box of a "assigned" task list entry COULD automatically be marked as done if the assigned user marks the corresponding TODO entry as done and vice versa.
Intended users
Everyone, who deals with task lists.
