Did "custom task fields" ever happen?

[John . Smith]

Hello

I have been away from MLO for 3 years. Did anything ever come of the feature request for having additional Task fields that are customisable?

Thanks

we got a new field called Text tags that you can use as you want

"Text Tags" sound promising.

Is there any on-line documentation about them? (I couldn't find anything) e.g. 

- Do they inherit from parents (e.g. at time of child creation)?

- Are they just plain text (not date/numeric)?

- Do they default in any helpful way?

- How long are they allowed to be?

- Do they come with any functions that can work on them?

Cheers

PS Do you just get one Text Tag per task?

in the Help file I found this:

Assigning Text Tag to a Task

You can mark a task with a specific text tag so that you can filter these tasks later in the To Do list.

 

To assign a text tag to a task:

1. Switch to Edit mode in Task Properties Pane

2. Select the Properties tab and open the General section

3. Enter the text tag name in the Text tag edit box.

 

Tip: A hint appears when you start typing in a text tag.

 

Tip: There is special column for text tags with a local menu where you can assign/change a text tag for a task.

 

Tip: You can use the Alt+T shortcut to perform actions 1 and 2 above.

 

Note: Only one text tag can be assigned to a task.

Sorry to say John, the text tag is not geared towards what you want which is for presentation of the attributes of an item to the viewer. Instead it is like another context field, for the purpose of filtering what tasks you want to view at a time in a list.

It's been a few months since I checked-in. 

Have there been any new developments in the area of "customer fields" ?

Just text tags, John... although those are pretty customisable.
