  • Each new created task will get a additional field, called ‚ticket number‘

Description:

Kanboard is a simple, free and open source project management web application, with an increasing community.

In my opinion, Kanboard is a really good choice for small projects with a small project team. The developer(s) of Kanboard focused on simplicity.

There was only one feature I missed in Kanboard, namely unique project based task identifiers. Kanboard only has global task ids, but there aren´t project ticket ids like in project management softwares like Jira by Atlassian.

So i started creating a plugin for the missing feature.
