Where is the problem occurring?

I encountered the problem while using the application (Frontend)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Microsoft Edge

Current behavior

The edit icon for multiple fields (such as tasks, lists, or other editable items) does not appear unless the user hovers over the field. This creates confusion because users may not realize that editing is possible unless they discover the hover interaction by chance.

Hover on 1st phase card

Desired behavior

The edit icon should be visible by default for all fields (tasks, lists, etc.) where the user has edit access.

The user should not have to hover over the item to discover that editing is available.

This improves accessibility and makes the UI more user-friendly.

Steps to reproduce

Make sure user have admin or project owner role

Hi! We hide edit icons on purpose and made them appear only on hover, otherwise the screen would be flooded with edit icons. Maybe this could be a per-user setting so people can enable it if they prefer...
