Innovative Uses Of Custom Fields in My Tasks

[lpb]

@Danielle-GenD,

Here’s another use of custom fields in my tasks, albeit kind of a side-effect:

Quick tip: Show some subtasks' hidden custom fields

First-level subtasks inherit the custom fields of their parent top-level task, but unlike the top-level task which shows all those custom fields and values by default, they are hidden until you click a Show inherited fields link (see below). Folks have complained about this because it can add up to a lot of extra clicks and a little undesired friction. I’ve been able to resolve one of the big offenders in my workflow in a non-intuitive way, so I thought I’d share it here. Now that My Tasks off…
