Custom goal icon to subtasks

[Milan]

Hello

Is there a way to create automatic formatting rule that subtasks of Monthly Goal have an icon?

I can achieve only marked the task, which is set as goal, but not subtasks.

Similar to Weekly goal, which is default rule exclamation mark for subtask.

Thank you

Milan

This may only have a complicated solution. You would probably need to use one of the two conditions which reference parent tasks [ParentName] or [TopLevelParentName] and include some text in the task caption for the monthly goal which can be matched. If you want the icon where the weekly goal icon shows (to the left of the task caption), you would also need to drag your custom rule to the top of the list of rules because this prioritises use of Icon position 0.

I think it's been set up this way by default, with only weekly goals having icons, assuming that Weekly/Monthly/Yearly Goals are based on a hierarchy with Weekly being the most urgent.

In fact the main problem is that the icon is not inherited in Custom rule as it is in default weekly goals....
Thx

I only half understand Pottster's answer.

Weekly goals show up with red "!" icons in all my views.

Is it possible to get my Monthly goals to be marked up in a similar way?
(Ideally with another similar icon - e.g. possibly a blue "!" icon)

Thanks

Yes, it's very straightforward using Automatic Formatting.

Gotcha - done.  Thanks!

The only painful thing is that there aren't any stock icons of different colour (but otherwise identical) to the red/grey default weekly icon. So I have had to use a flag. But there is not grey flag which would also have been nice.
