Task-Specific Background Color

[BrandonK6644]

As of now, the background color options in AppColl are based entirely on a tasks' due date and the deadline type. It would be very useful if we could select a background color for a specific task type. For example, I would like to set all "Respond to Non-Final Office Action - 4 month" tasks to orange and "Respond to Non-Final Office Action - 5 month" tasks to red - regardless of how close to the due date they are. This would allow me to quickly see in a report all of those tasks for which an extension is already due.

The current system doesn't allow me to do this. If I set the background color of all tasks with an External Extendable Deadline type and due within one month to orange, then all "Respond to Non-Final Office Action - 3 month" tasks due within the next month are orange, all "Respond to Non-Final Office Action - 4 month" tasks are orange, all "Respond to Non-Final Office Action - 5 month" tasks are orange, and so on.

@BrandonK6644 Whoops, loos like I had the same idea, but a few weeks later https://forum.appcoll.com/topic/343/set-task-background-color-based-on-taskstatus?_=1748361445416

HI Brandon,

Thank you for the great suggestion. We will certainly pass this on to our engineering team. We hope this helps
