Hide custom fields from the task details pane

it would be a huge help if we could hide custom fields from the task details pane (right side of a task). They will still appear there even if hidden in the project view. My team uses Asana as a complex ticketing system with 20 fields added into the project to help with tracking data and assigning rules to certain items.
With there being 20 fields, this really takes up a ton of space in the ticket. Yes you can collapse the fields, but sometimes i need my team to check a field on the task.

Hi @Macy_Roberson you can actually collapse/hide all but 5 custom fields from the task details pane.

To choose which 5 are displayed, go to Customize → Fields and move the fields you want to see to the top of the sort order. The first 5 fields will appear in the task details pane, while the remaining fields will be hidden there.

It appears that if you have “Actual Time” as a field of the project, it will always appear at the top of the 5 displayed.
