Is it possible to show the space a task is in?

Last week, I gave a number of colleagues a general introductory demonstration of Confluence, which unsurprisingly resulted in some questions. One of these was "How can I see which space a task is in?"

Obviously it's possible to limit the task report to a particular space, label, person, et cetera. However, Confluence only uses the page title as the location, meaning you can't see what space that page is actually in.

This doesn't sound extremely problematic, however, I can understand why this would be an issue for my colleagues. We have a standardised set-up for our documentation, so each project space has a "Project plan" page. If a user happens to be working on more than one project simultaneously (this occurs quite often) and has tasks on the "Project plan" page in a number of spaces, they'd like to be able to see which space it concerns on their "Task report" in their personal spaces, or on their profile.

I've looked into it but can't find a simple solution, only workarounds (e.g. space-specific task reports in their personal spaces; changing our documentation set-up to have the project name before the page title, etc.). 

Does anyone here know if this is possible?

Hi Jennifer,

It is not possible to show the space a task is in. We previously had a feature request for this but it is closed since it is not in our upcoming roadmap:

You can still comment on the request to share your feedback and use case, and it will be seen by the development team.

Regards,

Shannon

I thought it mustn't be possible or I'd have found it already! Thanks for your reply and the link to the feature request.

I do always find the word choice interesting when it comes to issue statuses. I believe I've read an article before in which Atlassian explains its workflow (including statuses), but for those who haven't, using "resolved" when an issue is actually closed could cause confusion...

Hi Jennifer,

I had the same trouble myself in the past, but I believe in terms of development it's just a slightly different language, since it does seem to include issues that are also simply closed as Won't Do.
