Creating Issues

​

Create a task from a date

1. Hover a day cell and click New Task.
2. Enter the task title and press Enter.
3. Select a team (if needed).
4. Optionally set properties:
   • Assignee
   • Project
   • Labels
   • Cycle
5. Press Create task (or press Enter).

​

Notes

• Tasks are created in Linear and appear in the selected date.
• If your filters already narrow to a single team, LinCal may preselect that team automatically.

​

Edit a task (right-click)

1. Right-click a task card in the calendar.
2. The task properties panel opens in edit mode.
3. Update properties such as assignee, project, labels, or cycle.
4. Click Save changes.

​

Notes

• This flow is for quick property updates from the calendar.
• Changes sync back to Linear.

​

Change status from the task card

1. On a task card, click the status icon (left side of the card).
2. Select the new status from the status menu.
3. The card updates immediately.

​

Notes

• Available statuses come from the task’s team workflow in Linear.
• This is the fastest way to move work between states from calendar view.
