Before you start

• You need access to the List or related item that contains the Task.
• Creating Tasks requires create access.
• Editing fields, comments, attachments, dependencies, archive, delete, move, copy, and bulk actions each require the matching access.
• Some fields and tabs appear only when enabled in App Settings.

Troubleshooting

Task is missing

• Symptom: You cannot find a Task you expected.
• Cause: You may be in the wrong Workspace, the Task may be filtered out, private, archived, deleted, or inside a List you cannot access.
• Resolution:
  1. Confirm the active Workspace.
  2. Search by Task name.
  3. Clear List filters and show completed Tasks.
  4. Check Archived or Recently Deleted if you have access.
  5. Ask the List owner or Workspace admin to confirm access.

Task cannot be edited

• Symptom: Task fields are disabled or changes do not save.
• Cause: You may not have the required access, the feature may be disabled, or the app may be offline.
• Resolution:
  1. Confirm your connection.
  2. Ask the List owner or Workspace admin to confirm your access.
  3. Check App Settings if a field or tab is missing for many users.
  4. Retry after sync completes.

FAQ

Is a Task always inside a List?

Should I use a Task or a reminder?

Use a Task for work that needs to be completed. Use a reminder to bring something back to attention later.
