Our organization uses custom fields like a fillable form for filling out job specifications. However, since filling out the fields in one task doesn’t auto-fill the remaining tasks, we end up with blank fields in a lot of the tasks in a project. So, it would be great if we could just associate custom fields with an individual task, rather than a whole project. Currently, there is a workaround where you have a project without any fields and one with custom fields, and then associate a task from the one with fields to the one without so it inherits those custom fields, but it’s far from ideal (and pretty confusing for people). ---
