Custom fields by task type
beta
Ivan Villa
Problem:
Custom fields can become messy when you have different types of work (tasks) within the same lists. For example, having a bug, feature, and an epic task all in the same list would cause them all to have the same custom fields, even though I would want specific ones for each type.
Other issues arise when fields that should only belong to the top-level task spread down to all its subtasks.
Ask:
Custom fields should have the option to be added to a custom task type itself.
- Whenever I create a new task of that type, it will come along with all its custom fields.
- Those fields will not spread to any task that is not of that type.

Hey Everyone 👋
I know there is a good number of people looking forward to custom fields by task type. I wanted to share this demo video I made for those in the beta, going over what custom fields by task type will bring.
Feel free to ask any questions!
If you signed up for the beta, we are working on some remaining items so we can further roll things out, but this is the team's focus!

Reporting a bug: seems like when you use Lists in Dashboard, the default task type is not working, but its working perfect in list view. I guess something around Dashboards.

Dimitar Dimitrov reported this one 8 weeks ago.. sad face.

Hi, I'm currently beta testing.
I understand that Custom Fields can now live either under a task type or a location. But it's not clear whether custom fields (or will be able to) live under multiple task types. Please advise.

Hi Ivan Villa task type custom fields is great and already makes a big change in our workflow. I was wondering, because we have now a lot of Custom Fields from locations, you can guess its a messy and even if we organize it by Task Type we see see Custom Fileds from locations. So can you introduce a settings to choose between showing Task Type and Location Fields OR only Task Type Fields in the tasks?

How can our team get into the Beta?

A few minutes ago, we lost access to the custom fields for task types, and they are no longer visible to us. This change has disrupted all of our workflows. I would appreciate it if you could investigate this issue as a high priority and let us know why it happened, as well as how long it will take to resolve and return to normal. Not having this feature means that a large portion of our data is now inaccessible.

Anyway to know if this was released to me as a beta user?

Any update?

OK in addition to having buttons by task type (so weird) it would also be nice to be able to turn the task types on in rollups (i think that's the right term)..
EDIT - sorry - not task types themselves, but the CF's that are linked to subtasks that are different task types than the parent task.

"File" custom field cannot be used as task type custom field. This custom field type must be added to the functionality, it is very important for us.
