A workspace starts with 4 default task types. Owners and admins can change their names and icons and add up to 2 extra types, for a total of 6.
The four default types are Feature, Bug, Improvement, and Tech. For example, you can rename Feature to “Initiative” and use extra types for research and reviews.
1. Where to open task type settings
Open the app menu and select “Task types”. These settings apply to the current workspace.
2. Change a name and icon
Edit a type’s name. Tap its icon and choose another from the catalog.
Changes are saved automatically: “Saving...” briefly appears next to the list heading, then “Saved”. If saving fails, the change is rolled back and an error message is shown.
3. Add custom task types
Tap “Add type”, enter a name, and choose an icon. A new type is saved as soon as it has a name; an unnamed row is not saved. You can add one more type.
To remove an extra type, tap the trash icon in its row and confirm with “Delete” in the window that appears. Tasks that already have this type keep it, but it can no longer be chosen for other tasks.
4. Restore the default settings
The four default types cannot be deleted. The “Defaults” link next to the list heading opens the “Restore default types?” window. Tap “Restore”: names and icons return to the originals, and extra types are no longer available for tasks.
