We believe a project owner should be able to see all tasks of his project in the springboard. This does not happen, if the task owner is another user.

Is there a configuration to make this possible or is it a customization?

No task owner does not affect permissions, it is merely a notional 'owner' of the task.

The Springboard shows you the tasks that you have been allocated to, or that are owed to you.

The Task Owner could select to see tasks 'owed to me' and see those tasks where they are the owner.

Project Owner, however, is just a field to show you who the custodian of the project is. A user would need to have read or write access to the project in order to be able to see all the tasks, and this would be in the PROJECTS module, not the Springboard.

Think of the springboard as the time/comment keeping module.

Ben,

could you advise, if Copper assumes that 100% completed tasks shall disappear from the Springboard? Mine have not, so since I just started coppering, I am getting more and more worried, that this would... well...

Hope they should disappear somehow. If yes, what we are doing wrong?

100% completed tasks should disappear, unless there are outstanding issues?

in fact I have not used issues functionality at the moment (trying to learn very basic stuff). so we don't put any issues oustanding. completed tasks are still there.

Most likely I am doing something wrong.
