Option to always show, hide when empty or always hide custom fields in task view
Juan Angel
This would be useful when there are a lot of custom fields in an item and by default you just want to select a few to show when you open the task/item view. See an example from notion

We'd like to add our name to this requirement. Having this feature would certainly go a long way in reducing employee frustration in not having ability to hide fields not relevant to their work.

I too need this feature. There are formula fields that we do not use at all in Task View that are unpinned and empty that should not be displayed there.

Would be great to have this option, because we can set up custom fields only at List level and if you need Task without those CF, it looks confusing.
Tracy Viscosi
I couldn't agree more. This would be extremely helpful and enhance the task when a large amount of blank custom fields are present.

Would be great to be able to hide custom fields within a task or remove them from list. As if they are created at the workspace level there is no way of deleting them from the list only. Thanks

Agreed that custom fields should be viewable at the workspace level without them being added to every space, folder, list, and task. Without this the everything view options are underwhelming.

Yes it would be so helpful to show specific custom fields for each custom view created. We build custom table views for each role on our team so that team members only see the fields that they are responsible for. However, when they open a task, they are greeted with all of the fields. It is overwhelming for them.

Please! It's so lame to see 45 empty fields

I've been asking for this feature for years. All of our task templates are different and they all require different custom fields. The option to show or hide them by task type would allow us to eliminate a lot of confusion in our processes. Honestly, I'm very frustrated this feature still isn't available.

This would be extremely helpful as we have many spaces within our workspace, and about 11 workspace level fields that we cannot track down the use for!

Yes! The fields are there mostly for OTHER purposes. I don't need to see them WHILE working on a given tasks. I certainly don't need to see empty ones...if I want to change them I can go to the effort of showing them. (But, that's my workflow, so having the option to globally set it for workspace etc. and/or by user might be good, in addition to in-the-moment toggle.) Note that, elsewhere, I've also requested that the fields be vertical rather than horizontal chunk so that attachments can be elevated/more visible in task view (they too could be vertical rather than horizontal). That way even if/while fields DO show, you can still USE the task.
