Health Status for Task work items
Everyone can contribute. Help move this issue forward while earning points, leveling up and collecting rewards.
Summary
Currently, Health Status is not available for Tasks in GitLab, which creates an inconsistency between Epics, Issues and Tasks. Customers have expressed a need for this feature, as Tasks are integral to their workflows, and they require easy signals (like Health Status) to quickly assess when work is off track.
Adding Health Status to Tasks aligns with reducing customizations by work item type. This change simplifies the system by making Tasks more consistent with other work items.
Additionally, in a future iteration of Configurable Work Item Types we will allow customers to enable/disable widgets per type.
Proposal
Add the Health Status field to Tasks, ensuring consistency with Epics and Issues.
