How can you create more task types? Now there are 3: - conversation - e-mail - to-do ---

I agree. I would like to know how I spend my week and month. Am I leaning to heavy on one task type vs another? I’m in sales, so knowing those numbers is important to ensuring I am staying focused on “what moves the needle” ---

It would be really great to have more task types, including a dropdown option to add a new task type right inside a task being created. ---

I nedd this feature- task type with drop down choice, it’s the very good maed in Zoho. Why you still can’t add this featues in beta version? It’s 2024, come one. ---

I thought I was crazy when trying to figure this out this morning. Seems like you can customize all sorts of arbitrary things but not tasks? That almost feels like having a spreadsheet that can’t calculate an average.
