Unique Identifier for each Task
Hi there,
I would greatly appreciate for a unique identifier to be assigned to each task as it is created. This helps to accurately identify tasks and to easily link tasks to one another amongst other benefits. This also includes the ability to actually link tasks. Thank you for the consideration on deploying this.

Add in a user-friendly task ID pls - nightmare without it , using an alphanumeric string of characters is awful.

@LosManos - the Trello implementation is a great solution to model this on. This needs to be a human readable ID that can be easily toggled for display on a card.
I have a board I am working on at the moment which has a great number of tasks. It would really benefit from being able to see the ID for each card so I can refer to them in emails, Teams etc or cross reference them between cards - in similar fashion to github issues.

fwiw: An idea for interaction would be to look at how Trello does it.

@Tomas Petrzikla - No, this is not the same, only partly. The ability to have an identifier on a task is not the same as the request to get a (clickable) link to a card. For me the ID is the main property of this idea, not the link as such. Similar, but not the same. :)

Would appreciate Prefix(e.g. abbreviation team name) + unique ID, where ID get's incremented automatically when new task is created. Feature should be additional option.
Perfect: Have ability to mention tasks + ID in channel conversation to directly link to task.
Take e.g. UI from Atlassian's Jira as inspiration. -
