Managing tasks on issues - Amazon CodeCatalyst

Managing tasks on issues

Tasks can be added to issues to further break down, organize, and track the work of that issue. You can create tasks yourself, or you can use Amazon Q to recommend tasks based on its analysis of the issue and its complexity.

Amazon Q Developer is a generative AI-powered conversational assistant that can help you to understand, build, extend, and operate AWS applications. To accelerate your building on AWS, the model that powers Amazon Q is augmented with high-quality AWS content to produce more complete, actionable, and referenced answers. For more information, see What is Amazon Q Developer? in the Amazon Q Developer User Guide.

To manage tasks on an issue

  1. Choose the issue for which you want to manage tasks. For help on finding your issue, see Finding and viewing issues.

  2. In Tasks, you can view and manage tasks for the issue.

    1. To add a task, input the task name in the text field and press enter.

    2. If there are no tasks for the issue, you can choose to have Amazon Q analyze the issue and create tasks based on the issue title, description, and its analysis of the complexity of the issue and the repository code, choose Recommend tasks. You will need to specify the source repository that contains the code for the issue. Choose Start recomending tasks to begin the task recommendation analysis. That dialog will close. Once the recommendation is complete, choose View recommended tasks to review the tasks and take any needed action, such as deleting or adding tasks to the list or reordering the recommended tasks, before choosing Create tasks.

      After tasks are created for you, you can assign them to users and work with them the same way you work with manually created tasks.

    3. To mark a task as completed, choose the checkbox of the task.

    4. To view or update the details of a task, choose it from the list.

    5. To reorder the tasks, choose and drag the task from the left side of the checkbox.

    6. To remove a task, choose the ellipses menu of the task and choose Remove.
