Chiming in with some responses and another justification for using sections, at least in certain cases:
- No notes, this makes sense and I agree with the thoughts/workaround for now
- You can reorder the field values if you edit the field, which is a partial solution but does prevent you from having different orders across different projects (this doesn’t seem like a huge deal to me personally)
- This is a huge and valid thought, and one that is covered here (consider giving it a vote!)
- Would this be meaningfully different than just changing the value of the custom field on the task?
My own reason for liking sections sometimes:
- Sections are how Gantt view currently groups tasks (no ability to change this yet), so for now, they do still have a place in my workflow
