Hello,

Would it be possible to set several colors to a task that has several fields in the timeline view ?  
For instance a marketing campaign (channel + target + theme, etc…)

Thanks in advance !

Hi @anon64646736, welcome to the Asana Community Forum!

You can add colors to your tasks in Timeline by using [custom fields](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/custom-fields). However, the task will only show one color, whether is a custom field or the default color. However, it’s currently not possible to see several colors in a single task. You can find more information in this article: [Setting colors on your Timeline](https://asana.com/guide/help/premium/timeline#gl-timeline-colors)

Thanks for sharing your feedback with us! I’ll update this thread if we have any plans to implement this feature in the future 🙂

Thanks Emily  
Would be awesome to get a better overall view of a project, especially to share global vision to executive directors  
In campaign marketing for instance it’s useful to have 2 colors as you can have a view per channel or per thematic sequence
