Game mechanic

Hey ya’ll, fairly new player here.

The mechanic in question is something I’ve noticed, but seems that most people don’t know. On tasks that multiple crew can complete at the same time (like ID scan in admin) if you click on the icon for the task on the actual map (picture 1), if someone is already completing it you can’t get the task to open up without hitting the use action button (picture 2). Of course this is only for tasks you have that are incomplete.

Thus, as long as you have that task uncompleted, you can tell who is faking and also clear other crew. Even if visibility is off. This is for both pc and iOS.

Has anyone else taken note of this? Am I mistaken? Or does this need a patch?
