As has been said, in game if you select the profession again, it will take you back to however far you scrolled down so you don't have to hunt for what you want. The Gateway doesn't do this, but there's a trick to select the same task multiple times. Select the task you want, set it up, hit start. You're now back on the overview page. Hit the back button on your browser and it takes you back to the page for that task. Hit start again, repeat. Three tasks started in a matter of seconds. If you don't want to use the default assets or to add more, it will still take a bit longer. Works on my Android and the PC Gateway. Just use the browser's back button, not the mobile gateway back button.

Thanks for the tip. I just tried it on gateway, and it does make things faster.
Hopefully we will still get "mass assign" and "collect all" buttons implemented. That would also address the in game situation in which there is no back button.

Have you seen START TASK button sometimes grays out automatically? I use Backspace key to go back to task page. Sometimes upon arriving task page, START TASK button grays out immediately. And then I have to refresh the page to get it work.
I've had that happen as well. Not sure if it's related to using the back button. I think it happened to me before I stumbled on that. There's also the bug where the start is grayed out because no asset was automatically assigned to the task. Even manually selecting the worker or tool doesn't enable you to start. Switching characters, logging out and back in, refreshing all seem to fix it. I think it's all related to how on the Gateway, sometimes you can collect the rewards from three of the same task and then be unable to start again. It seems like the assets, slots or tasks are mistakenly tagged as being in use.
There's also a bug on the mobile Gateway where occasionally scrolling is disabled until you access something on the screen. Collecting a finished task clears it. So does clicking on finish early or cancel (you don't have to actually do them, just hit cancel for the popup). Also, on my android, using the menu to 'Find On Page' enables scrolling again.

Yes, yes, yes!! Ten minute tasks, I could literally never stop assigning the task, because by the time I am done setting up the last one, the first one is ready to collect.
