Custom task types and statuses supported in a Bundle's task templates

The recently introduced Custom Task Types & Statuses are fantastic but I find them limiting with regards to universal dashboards or portfolio dashboards because each custom type is unique to a project and cannot be quantified globally.

I’m hoping a fast follow will be to add support for custom task types in Bundles which would resolve these initial shortcomings.

Agreed! We love the new custom task types and also want a way to roll them out without rebuilding for each project.

I agree. Right now I have a dropdown field for task status that’s included in a bundle and applied to all projects. I think the new custom statuses are interesting, I always wondered why there wasn’t a built in status option beyond complete/incomplete. But we use consistent statuses across all projects and I can’t build this into every project individually.

Agreed - needs to be org-wide to be useful in dashboards, common workflows, etc.

Huge +1! For me (and I’m assuming basically anyone at a large org), custom task types aren’t really useful until they’re supported in bundles (and project templates), as one of the key value-adds would be workflow standardization and reporting across many projects.

@Aj_D I replied to that post, but also, if you haven’t yet, be sure to add your vote here!

Agreed Richard, we will quickly adapt how bundles are rolled out if we can incorporate this into them. Added a vote to this one :white_check_mark:

+1 here, highly useful to bundle. Would definitely help migrate those slightly older projects that have bundles attached to new custom task standards.

Hi @Peter_Louie , thanks for adding your voice to this.
To make your +1 count, make sure to scroll to the top of this thread and click on the Vote button in the top left :wink:

It’ll be actually great if Custom task types were gathered in some kind of library. We have many different projects that need to use the same task type, and changing it once and for all of them, would be nice
