Grouping a list of tasks by the task type would be helpful for lists with multiple types of tasks.

Has this been added to all Dashboard cards yet? I see that pie chart is one that can't be grouped by task type yet.

Hey everyone! You can now group by task type across various different views. This includes list, table, dashboard list and board views (including swimlanes). There are a few areas that still need this added, but we tackled the most used ones first for everyone here.

Ivan Villa: amazing! By any chance does this also touch the timesheet dashboard widget? 😁😁😁
Amara Amzal
Ivan Villa: Thank you for your input. Could you consider not highlighting Task Types that are not used? This would make the views more usable for people who have defined a significant number of Task Types.
Guy Mannerings
Ivan Villa: 👍 Would love to see this in the Subtask area of Task View.

Ivan Villa: did the sort by ASC/DES get fixed for grouping by task type?
Ivan Villa
Stephanie Henry: Teams currently working on it, hopefully in one of the next releases. :)
Daniel Basse
Ivan Villa: FYI - I hit a bug in Table Views that threw a Validation Error when adding the Task Type column with custom task types to the Everything space. Filed a bug report, but it's likely related to this work.
Ivan Villa
Daniel Basse: Thanks Daniel! I will let the team know to ensure that we pickup your bug report 👍
Daniel Basse
Ivan Villa: Thanks Ivan, they got me - #1653269

Ivan Villa: when the sort by ASC/DES is done, will they permanently fix the "Task" type to the top of the list? Or will Task+Milestone ALSO move around alphabetically among the other types as you sort them?

This does also flag the need for multiple levels of Grouping.
As, if you can group by Task Type only, you would then lose the ability to group by Status/Priority/Due Date as well, for example.
Michał Czopek
I can see that this has been implemented, thanks!

This will also work for swim lanes, right?

Not just grouping by Task Type within views, but also within Task View itself for Subtasks.
Right now, all Task Types are grouped together when sorting Subtasks in Task View.
So if you sort by Status, it mixes Task Types up.
It would be great to be able to (optionally) group them by Task Type before sorting.

Ivan Villa What is the status on this?
Ivan Villa
Paul Zuercher@bcc.no: Hopefully not too much longer, we have US holidays 🦃coming up, but the team should be working through wrapping it up and getting it ready for testing. 😊
Chris Knight
Ivan Villa: just to confirm, we will be able to group by task type on the dashboards as well right?
Ivan Villa
Chris Knight: We are working this one view at a time, we should have list view momentarily, board view and table view to follow, and then dashboard widgets and other views. :)
Chris Knight
Ivan Villa: thanks for the update!
Guy Mannerings
Ivan Villa: Will this include the Subtask List View from within Task View?
Right now, all Task Types are lumped together in Subtask area. It would be good to be able to group them by Task Type too (as an option - sometimes it is useful, sometimes it is not).

We would like to group the task type to identify what capability is needed to fulfil the task. Engagement types can be Engagement, Finance etc.
