Support custom task types in Status Update widgets

[Skyler]

Current behavior: The draggable “Highlight” widgets in project progress and status update flow do not currently recognize custom task types in their logic.

Desired behavior: These widgets should support custom task types.

Context
Every time I drag the widget into an update it says there’s no data. Every task we complete in most projects now is a custom task type.

This seems to apply to:

• Tasks completed/overdue list widget
• Incomplete tasks by assignee widget

It still works for regular tasks, milestones, and approvals.

Looks like the widgets are only recognizing the built-in task types right now. Since custom task types are being used heavily, the data should still be there — the widget logic just isn’t including those types.

I’d report this as a feature gap/bug and include the examples you shared. For now, using a custom report or dashboard widget with filters for your task types may be the best workaround until native support is added.
