It would be great do have a short URL for fibery entities along with the human readable long form

Context: trying to have QR code (pointing to the fibery URL) on inventory items on a small area 1cm x 1cm, if the URL is too long, the QR code gets too complex to reliably print and read from such a small area

Can you clarify - are you asking for the Fibery (address bar) URLs to be shorter, or asking that the URL field supports showing something other than the full URL?

If the former, I think it is not going to happen natively. If you need url shortening, then I suggest using a 3rd party service, e.g. [https://tinyurl.com/](https://tinyurl.com/)

Messaged Philip privately with some ideas, explained that `https://blockwork.fibery.io/Task_Manager/Task/Important-task-name-302` = `https://blockwork.fibery.io/Task_Manager/Task/302`

So it’s possible to shorten the URL by removing the task name, and just leaving the public id. In case someone in the future also needs this.
