Collaborating with guests in a task: From the guest POV

Bonus question: “What Custom Fields can guests see ?”

  • Do they see all custom fields from the project?
  • And if the task is “multihomed” in another project with more custom fields - do they see all custom fields (from both projects)?
See test details with screenshots
  1. Guest invited to a task, WITH a custom field that is NOT filled

  2. Same guest, same task, custom field FILLED. It’s a field added to the library (“Priority”).


    The guest can even be notified by the field change (if the option is checked in the Custom Field Edit options).

  3. Same guest, same task, MULTI-HOMED in another project with an “Estimated time” custom field that is also added to the library and filled

  4. Same guest, same task, MULTI-HOMED in another project with a custom field that is project-specific and filled → guests don’t see it


Conclusion

Only fields that are added to the fields library and filled with data will be visible from your “task guests”
