Different Types of Tasks, like a note task vs. a typically task

[Esteban_Giannini]

Adding my vote here! It would be great to extend support to other task types, such as Contact, Event, Meeting Note, etc. It would also be helpful if the task type determined the icon displayed in place of the checkbox, similar to how Approval and Milestone tasks are differentiated. This would make it much easier to visually identify and manage different task types, especially since we use Asana to handle much more than just tasks.

The dream would be to have those task types integrated into the rules, which would open up a world of opportunities.

Does the “considered” vote means Asana is considering it beyond the Notes tab @Vanessa_N ?

Hi @Bastien_Siebman, that’s correct! Our PMs are exploring an additional functionality for tasks, not related to the Notes tab. We don’t have specific details to share just yet, so this feature request is marked as “Considered” for now. We’ll provide updates as soon as we have more information to share.
