On Hold Status for Tasks

Description - It would be helpful to have an On Hold (ONH) status for Tasks like there are for Projects and Requests. 

Why is this feature important to you - Sometimes tasks need to be put on hold as priorities change, etc. We'd like to indicate the true status because it's not New, In Progress, or Complete.

How would you like the feature to work - Choose On Hold from the Status dropdown menu and remove it from being factored into the Project Condition. 

Current Behaviour - Tasks have three options New, In Progress, or Complete. We created a custom On Hold status, but it affects the Project Condition, so we adjust the dates repeatedly until the task is re-engaged and changed to In Progress or Cancelled (another custom status created.) For Cancelled Tasks, we can delete the task but it's useful to show the task was considered for the project. We remove dates and planned duration/hours for it so it will not impact the Project Condition. We don't want to remove them from On Hold tasks so the stakeholders know the effort needed should it be decided to move forward.
