@Sarah_Yeung ,
Please look at these existing English Forum > Product Feedback @Garrett_Knoll ’s posts in these threads:
I’m experiencing a new problem in a project I’ve been using for years, and I’m wondering if I’m experiencing some sort of bug. It’s also possible I’m missing an obvious solution/answer, but I’d like some help!
For context: I manage marketing material production and use one project—creatively titled Marketing Materials—to house all these materials. Each material appears in the form of a task. Sometimes these task are created in Marketing Materials, and then added to additional projects. Other ti…

I really like the solution that was recently introduced which provided the ability to hide Custom Fields on subtasks within a Project. I believe that many would appreciate the opportunity to hide Custom Fields on task AND subtasks in the same way IF the Custom Fields pertained to another project. Through the use of multi-homing you can assign tasks to multiple projects. This then consolidates ALL the Custom Fields across those projects within the task. However, you can only view the tasks as a f…
