Anyone know what’s going on? I’m in Deals, trying to add a Task, and the Create button grey’d out (can’t save).

Thanks!

Hi @PWallin,

Thank you for your inquiry.

I couldn’t reproduce the behavior you mentioned.

We figured it out. When creating a task you have to “name” the task. Once we did that - no worries. thx for trying.
