Statuses by task type
Ivan Villa
Problem:
Often within a single list, we have different types of tasks: some represent projects, designs, and smaller action items. Each one should go through their own set of statuses, but this is currently not possible.
We are forced to either use dropdown custom fields as a workaround or create large status sets to try and encompass everything, leading to confusion among people.
Ask:
- Give the ability for statuses to be set by type.
- This will allow each task type to have its own status workflow.

Updated Dec 2025:
Aaron Zielinsky No dates yet for this one. We are taking these task-type improvements incrementally, and currently, we are working through custom fields by task type. So once we can get that one out of beta and available for all, then we can pick up another one in the queue :)

Also hoping for this. I run into issues with projects where I have to create sub-tasks for procurement: quote, order, receive, schedule, install, etc. These don't align directly with our standard overall project statuses; new, in progress, 3rd party pending, on hold/stuck, etc., so it would be nice to be able to assign these directly at the sub-task item type or by manually overriding status type. I'm sure there are 100 ways to slice that pie.

I might even argue that being able to set statuses by task type is even more important for my company's project management than custom fields per task type. There is a possibility for a work around using the custom fields but I'd hate to configure that across all our spaces when statuses-by-task-type would accomplish this so much better and more easily.

We really need this feature! Custom task types and custom fields by task type have been such a HUGE improvement for our workflow, and adding the statuses by task type would be another huge improvement - our projects contain many types of tasks, and we need more status options that won't apply to everything, convoluting them!

Hello everyone!
We are already testing custom fields by task type, and it’s working great so far!
I hope statuses by task type get prioritized soon as well, since this feature is really important for project management workflows.
Great work, team!

This really would be incredibly helpful for our company. I would love to see this one prioritized.

It would be very useful to have the ability to set status by task type as we share tasks across various lists and would like to see the different status in each list

This feature would be extremely helpful! Eagerly waiting for start of implementation!

What can I do to get the beta version?
I would very much like to contribute to the status tests by type of task.
It's an extremely important feature for our projects here.
We are looking forward to this feature.

Ivan Villa and Caroline Ginty, just wanted to check in to see if there's any update. I know the last pinned comment says once custom fields by task type is out of beta, but I just wanted to see if there's any idea for when it will be out of beta and when another feature like this can get added to the queue.

David J Geiger No updates to share yet, but we'll be sure to keep this request updated with any news!
David J Geiger
Caroline Ginty thanks for the reply! Hopefully soon this will move from "Considering" to "Future" (I think that's the next status, not completely sure).
