Control timeline activity associations to associated objects (contacts/ companies/ tickets/ deals)

We desperately need tasks that are created within a ticket record to associate to the contacts associated to the ticket. The default is only the company. Its a nightmare as we have to remember and then manually associate contacts to tasks ! I asked for this 12 months ago but sadly no movement on this yet we have had to tolerate some rather inconvenient updates recently (all non communicated!) which make absolutely no sense!
