"Select feature" usability improvement advice

[Abdurrahman KARABACAK]

I frequently use the Select feature to assign tasks to sprints in the backlog. However, there’s a usability issue I keep encountering. After I move a selected task, it remains highlighted. As I move on to the next task, any action I take gets unintentionally applied to both the new task and the previously selected one, which disrupts my workflow. Could you consider modifying this so that once a task is moved, it is automatically deselected? This would help prevent accidental changes and improve efficiency.

I'm having trouble with the "Select" feature in the backlog. After moving a selected task, it remains highlighted, which often leads to me accidentally applying actions to both the moved task and the next one I'm working on.

Is there a way to automatically deselect a task after moving it? This would help prevent errors and streamline my workflow.

Hi @Abdurrahman KARABACAK welcome to the Atlassian Community!

I never tried it before, but yes, I'm able to reproduce the issue and it's annoying indeed.

I would suggest to provide in-product feedback to Atlassian via the Help icon.
