Hi there,
is there a reason why the "Tasks" module doesn't show all the editing capabilities the "Notes" modules has? No different fonts, no checkboxes, no tables... if I need these elements in a task I currently have to create a note instead and link from the task to this note which is very cumbersome.
Moreover, if I convert a note to a new task, all the formattings get lost, even the few ones the "Tasks" module supports (like Bold). Images were deleted, tables get converted into a useless chaos of text.
Are there any plans to improve this? (Couldn't this editor element of the "Notes" module be reused for the "Tasks" module?)

+1. Formatting et. al. would enhance tasks greatly. Especially flowing from notes into tasks.

Re: More editing options for the "Tasks" module
Everything is possible, of course. Let's see how many users support the idea, we could then prioritize it for implementation in the future versions based on the number of requests.

Re: More editing options for the "Tasks" module
I support this too!
I often missed the possibillity to emphasize words with different size or font in tasks. I use tasks mainly as notes to a day- in lack of a real "note" to a day.

Re: More editing options for the "Tasks" module
I use tasks for daily / short / long term project management. I have one or more formatted notes that I want to insert into a task, it consolidates pertinent information for a project. Being able to formatted a short note while in the task, as well as adding existing formatted notes to the task (without loosing their formatting), would be a welcomed boost to productivity in my project management.

I also support to extend the functionality of the task. I'm using it to organize my tasks getting by mail. Add more rows, rename and so on would be great.
Re: More editing options for the "Tasks" module
Sorry, I have to correct my posting: I just noticed, I never jused any task at all; I even don´t see the task module in EPIM, nore have I any (ok, 4 or 5 tasks in the last 10 years, just for testing...). I use the appointments in calendar for this purpose (as notes). So, I want this edditing options for appointments in calendar!
But I think, this should make no difference- I think it is just consistent and intuitive, if all modules where you write something should have the same capabilities!

+1 for more formatting options in the notes of all other modules.
