What is a Flavor?

What we call Flavor is an additional, special structuring level for projects and tasks. 

Flavors essentially are user-defined fields that you can name as you like and assign values to. Together with the filtering and reporting options, this opens up many useful scenarios. Your imagination is the limit!

Properties of Flavors

• Flavors can be assigned to projects and tasks alike. The procedure is basically the same for both actions, with one difference: For projects, Flavors are added in the master data, for tasks in the task dialogs.
• If a project or task has not yet been assigned a Flavor, a button Show Flavor is offered in the dialog to display the Flavor section and add the first Flavor
• As soon as a Flavor is added to a project or task, it will appear in the Flavor section above the entry fields.

Important: If no values are defined for a Flavor (list values), it is defined as a label and will be listed in the labels section.

Working with Flavors
Einen Flavor legst du folgendermaßen an:

• Open the task dialog or the master data of a project
• If no Flavors have been added yet - select the button Show Flavors
• Select the plus icon in the Flavor section
• Select one or more of the predefined Flavors or add a new Flavor yourself
• You can create as many Flavors with different values as you like. Pay attention to a reasonable structuring.

Flavor Settings

When you select a Flavor, a settings icon is available next to the delete button (this button simply removes the assignment to the task / project).

You will find the following options:

• Change the description of a label
• Under Flavor Type you can choose from three types:
  • List (Standard type for Flavors, which enables you to define your own values for the Flavor)
  • Freestyle (transforms the Flavor into a Label) 
  • With heading (Flavor without value, only with a heading and color)
• Define a suitable color for the Flavor

⚠ Once created, labels cannot yet be deleted system-wide. This function will be available soon.

Note

Changing the flavor type is not possible in all cases. Once values have already been defined for a flavor, switching to certain other types may be restricted. Depending on the current flavor type, only those types are offered to which a flavor can be converted. Alternatively, (all) existing values would need to be deleted – across all usage locations – in order to be able to switch to all flavor types again.

Determine value sequences

Define the order of values for a Flavor of type List yourself.  If a specific value should appear at the very top, you can move it there via drag & drop.

Placeholder for selection Flavors

For Flavors of type List or Multi-select, the UI indicates that no value has been selected yet. In this case, the field shows “Empty” (as a placeholder) until a selection is made.

Find Flavors in different areas

Flavors are currently displayed in three places within the app:

1. In the task dialog / project dialog
2. Below cards in the board view when hovering / pointing it
3. As columns in the task list
   Flavors can be displayed individually as columns in the list view. Flavors can be selected in the options menu (3-point menu).
   
   

Delete / Remove Flavors

When flavors are displayed in task dialogs or project master data, they can be removed from the respective context via the flavor’s context menu > ✖️ Remove flavor.

However, this action does not delete the field from the system; it only removes it from the specific context.

If you want to permanently delete a flavor from the system, proceed as follows:

1. Open the context menu of the flavor you want to delete.
2. Select Delete permanently.

Flavor Manager

The Flavor Manager provides a central overview and management of all flavors available in the workspace. You can find it via the menu Settings → Flavors.

In this overview, all flavors are displayed with the following information:

• Title – Name of the flavor
• Total – How often the flavor is used in total
• Projects – Number of projects in which the flavor appears
• Tasks – Number of tasks using the flavor
• Status reports – Number of status reports where the flavor is used
• Type – Field type of the flavor (e.g., text, number, list, etc.)

The Flavor Manager is especially useful for reviewing existing flavors, cleaning up duplicate or unused fields, and ensuring consistent field structures across the entire workspace.

In the overview, all flavors are automatically grouped by their Type. This allows you to see at a glance which data types exist (e.g. Text, Number, List, etc.) and how many flavors are available for each type. Expanding a group reveals the individual flavors.

From here, you can also edit or delete flavors directly. Changes apply system-wide to all tasks and projects where the respective flavor is used.
