Dismiss names from Recommended Tasks

RR said: Hi: This suggestion is for the Recommended Tasks section. I spend considerable time trying to attach records to profiles. Sometimes there are names in the list for which I am unable to make a determination whether the record should be attached or dismissed. I'd love a feature to be able to dismiss the names of those I cannot work on from my Recommended Tasks list. Thank you for your consideration.

Gordon Collett said: This is already possible both on the web and app versions.
In the web version, open the hint and then click "Ignore."
In the task list, the hint will now look like this:
The next time your task list is regenerated, which may not be for a day, it should be gone for good. This has no effect on what other people see on their tasks lists or on the appearance of the hint on the individual's Family Tree Page.
In the app, just swipe left on the line to have this appear:
Click on Remove and the hint will immediately disappear from your task list.0 -

Thanks so much for pointing it out to me.0 -
Matthias Schulz said: I think the problem is, that you can't see, that a person has only ignored tasks, until you click on it , so that all the tasks of this person will be shown as ignored.
Here you see persons with tasks, but you don'tsee, that Emil Brecht has only one ignored task, as you can see in the next image.

This IGNORE is not permanent! The records just reappear again!! Would love to have a permanent way to get them out of the way!!

Are they coming back with the same hints? Or do they stay ignored until new hints appear in case you want to work on the new hints? It may take some work to document which is happening, but it is an important difference. You would have to carefully record what is showing for hints, not just the title of the hint, ignore them, then when they appear again check the hints now present and see if any of the URL for the hint sources are the same or if they are all new ones.
The first would be a bug, the second a feature.
