Feature Request: Show Task Type Custom Fields in List & Board views
Joana Soares
We’re currently testing the Custom Fields by Task Type beta and really like the concept. However, we’ve run into an important limitation that strongly impacts day-to-day usability and reporting:
At the moment, Custom Fields created per Task Type do not appear in List or Board views, nor can they be enabled as columns or shown on board cards — unlike standard workspace custom fields.
This creates a gap between:
- Contextual work inside the task (where Task Type fields work very well), and
- Overview and management views (List / Board), where those same fields are often essential.
Why this matters:
In real-world setups, especially in multidisciplinary teams (design, development, QA, training, meetings), Task Types are ideal for defining which fields matter — but teams still need:
- To see key Task Type fields at a glance in List or Board views
- To use them for filtering, grouping, and prioritization
- To avoid duplicating critical fields as global custom fields just for visibility
It would be extremely valuable to allow:
- Task Type Custom Fields to be enabled as columns in List view
- Task Type Custom Fields to be shown on Board cards
- (Ideally) Task Type Custom Fields to be available in filters and views, scoped to tasks of that type
This would fully unlock the potential of Task Types as structured, context-aware task models — without sacrificing visibility or reporting.

Joana Soares Thank you for your feedback! Apologies for the delayed response. We've shipped several improvements over the last few months - replying to your suggestions above line by line, but please let me know if you see otherwise and we can take a closer look!
- Task Type CFs can be enabled as columns in List view or shown on Board cards if there are tasks of those types in that location, otherwise those fields are not shown as options to display in those views to reduce the visual noise in the fields menu.
- Task Type CFs should be available as filters as well, similarly scoped to tasks of that type.
Appreciate the context! Hope this helps.
