Yeah, this would be a great feature. We have to use tagging instead.

agreed, the sharing is good but if more than two people are sharing it is not always clear who needs to preform the task

Yes - if RTM had a good "assign tasks" feature we would probably use it exclusively instead of having to also use Basecamp for that feature.

+1 here. We have a relatively small team at work and would have everyone using this tool, but currently can't see a way to generate reports and such. The app is great as it is and I wouldn't want to take it too far astray, but seems like one possible path for the rtm team.

Agreed. Honestly, I've let my RTM Pro membership lapse recently and started been researching other services because this is a major pain point for me. Having a pro account so I can share tasks with others really isn't useful when I need the ability for:
A) assigning to a specific team member, and/or
B) allowing anyone on the team to complete the task and have a "paper trail" of who actually did the work.
Using the "notes" section to record a name for each and every task wastes a lot of time (especially when using the iPhone app, which is the most common way we access RTM). And yes, RTM team, there is a competitor out there who makes it possible to assign tasks, records who completed, allows projects/sublists. Feel free to contact me offline for the specific company I'm referring to.

Need this feature for our small team. We're sharing lists, but it's confusing on who should be doing the task. We have tried tagging... which works... but everyone who the list is shared with gets constant reminders on everyone elses tasks, which makes the reminders useless because everyone starts ignoring them!

Love the fact that you can share and send tasks, but assigning tasks from a personal and a shared list is needed!

I start using this tool for coordinating team mates and tasks. Assigning them would be the next logical step to sharing lists.
Please add this feature

We need this feature. Please.

I agree with valandbank's comment about reminders. If I delegate using shared lists, I don't necessarily want to see reminders on my Overview screen for what's due today, tomorrow, etc. That really clutters my view. An ability to include/exclude certain lists from the Overview tab would help.

Love RTM, but I have come to the conclusion that it is not practical for team work. I would love to see more team work features added (assign tasks, individual reminders and reporting ...).

It would be good to get feedback from the development team to see if this is being considered.

Like bird.famille, I am looking elsewhere to other tools that meet my needs.

This is really critical for shared tasks. Without it, there's not much point in being able to share tasks.

This is what I've wanted right from the start, would love this rather than tagging!

Any progress on this?

Really a must have. We are currently 3 users a the teams is growing, but the fact that i cant really managed tasks between us is a growing problem.
I can send them to someone else, but then i loose control of that task (this has been used so far as "assigning").
I hoped that the outlook sync could solve the problem, but the sync is missing 2 things : Tags as categories and a link between RTM profiles and mailadresses.
