Add tasks directly in columns when in a filtered view

Johannes L

In many situations, I filter large boards based on tags (or a search), e.g. because tags serve as my epics and I need to see/edit/add tasks within this epic.

But in a filtered view, I can't add tasks directly into a column with the (+) icons between two cards. I only have the generic (add task) button in the top row, which requires me to select rows from dropdowns etc.

I think having the option to add cards directly into a column also (or even especially) in filtered views, will add to a more intuitive flow of working and eventually make me more productive using MeisterTask.

Interestingly, this behaviour exists already when filtering for users/board members, but only then not with tags.

As a bonus, all cards added in a filtered (by tag) view could receive this tag automatically (this is also the same behaviour as with the user/member filter)

Count me in on this one.

addition:

• I can add cards in filtered view when I select a card (shift-click), then hit tab. So it seems to be possible technically.
• the above technique does not work when the cards get filtered by a free text search, by due date, by monitoring person. It does work with tags, status, and card owner
