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.

Problem: Often within a single list, we have different types of tasks: some represent projects, designs, and smaller action items. Each one should go through their own set of statuses, but this is currently not possible. We are forced to either use dropdown custom fields as a workaround or create large status sets to try and encompass everything, leading to confusion among people. Ask: Give the ability for statuses to be set by type. This will allow each task type to have its own status workflow.

When a Task is linked, or a Custom Relationship is added, the Task name should be visible.

It would be great if in the Task View we could have the ability to customize (globally) the columns that we see next to each task. By default it is Assignees, Priority, and Due Date, with an option to manually add in columns, but that doesn't translate globally. I think a separate global setting for this would be a great addition as a lot of us are looking at start date and due date, not just due date.

In the task view, if I choose to show completed subtasks, please remember this preference. So, when I open the next task, I would like it to show the subtasks as well. The same functionality applies to checklists; there, the preference is saved.

To mention a task in an email conversation with the Team or in an spreadsheet, I need to mention the task name with the link. This was a feature which is provided by Asana and comes very handy. Check the screenshot for the kind of use-case I am writing about.

Can we please get the ability to search Subtasks in the subtasks area of Task View? So where "Sort, Collapse All, Expand", etc, are, can we get a search icon? Then the option to limit/include in the search Subtask names, Descriptions, and Custom Fields, like we can on List view. Mockup attached.

Most of our workload is the same every month for every client. Occasionally, a client will pause work for a month or 2 months. Rather than having to cancel our intricately set up recurring and being left with a whole heap of admin when the client restarts, would it be possible to "freeze" recurring tasks at the list task, list, folder and space level, so that further down the line we can "unfreeze" and carry on from where we left off

Hi, In the v3 Task layout, when sending emails from the thread, it's nearly impossible to see anyone which was included in CC. Quite dangerous... Thanks

When task descriptions exceed a certain length, part of the content is hidden behind a “Show More” toggle. This often causes users to overlook important supporting details because they don’t expand the text. An option to display the full description by default would ensure all content is immediately visible, improving clarity and reducing missed information.
