As a production manager for a 3D animation firm, I manage a lot of projects across my team. I feel like not being able to color code a task is a basic oversight. I make a master board of each artist and the projects they are working on with deadlines. Each project is a task. We need the ability to colorize each task-Green for active project today, yellow for waiting on something, and red for stopped or complete for example. This helps us organize and prioritize at a glance. I’ve seen other threads about color coding tasks from years back and only weird hacks for it. How is this not a feature yet? Seems like a simple, basic feature. ---
