[DONE] Not all items are appearing in Focus area - specifically when assignee is added via automation

This is a bug that has been discovered in relation to a workaround required for a separate feature request item found here: Please provide an option to auto assign Checklist Items to the current user if not assigned specifically to someone else

We are noticing that when a user enters themselves as the assignee on a Checklist item, and that particular field is set to “Show checklist items in focus” it works without issue.

But when the items are left without an assignee, requiring our workaround automation to enter the assignee name, those items are not showing up on the users Focus Page.
We have made sure to select options for ‘Trigger Automations’ and ‘Trigger Webhooks’ in this action step of the automation rules. But no matter what, items are only showing up in the Focus Page if the user manually selects the assignee name.

Hi @CarsonRedCliffLabs,

Thanks a lot for reporting this issue and for the very detailed explanation and your video. Thanks to your clear description, we were able to reproduce the behavior already.

We have confirmed that it is related to permissions: the assignment is made by the automation, and because of that, it is filtered in the wrong way. This is what causes the items not to show up correctly in the Focus area.

We will fix this as soon as possible and will let you know once everything is resolved. Again, many thanks for your helpful feedback and sorry for the inconvenience!

Best regards,
Leo
