Allow Customization of Background Color of tasks

In the tasks view of the project, allow the System Administrator or Project owner to customized the task background color to turn the background of a task to grey if the tasks is marked "not required" - for example.


We find ourselves updating tasks - when it is not needed - because the task is marked "not required".

It would be more user friendly to quickly be able to see which tasks are not "active" and do not need to be updated when the project date is has changed.

Thanks.

    Its not a system-wide solution, but users can customize their View to do that. I assume "Not Required" is a task status. If so, you can create a rule (using the Advanced Options menu when creating a new View) so that when the status is set to "Not Required", the row is highlighted in grey.

    Anthony,

    We do this for our views now - but I've not found a way to do it, inside of a project. When looking at the tasks inside of a project.

    I think I understand- you're not looking to grey out these tasks when viewed in a list, but the task landing page itself. That I don't believe is currently possible. Not without some crazy API magic that I won't even pretend to understand.
