Show additional fields on Inbox list (as well as My Tasks and Detail View)

It would be great to be able to configure the cards that make up the list on the left side of the Inbox page, so that other info showed up there. Note Status is a field that has been requested specifically - please let us know what other info would be useful in the comments, and click on "Me Too!" to add your support for this feature.

UPDATE: Expanding this request to include My Tasks and Detail View, as the same use cases apply. Other useful fields would be Project, Type, Department. Please add more examples of what fields would be useful in the comments. Also let us know how many fields you'd need here - if we had spaces for two additional info fields, would that be enough? Wouldn't want to make it infinitely expandable obviously, but how many fields is enough?

    I would say being able to sort inbox notices by project would be most helpful!

    We've received some feedback that for the My Tasks Detail View (left pane), being able to have a top five field list would be perfect. Let us know if you agree.

    It would be great to have flexibility (but limited to 4 fields) of selecting which 4 field info should be visible on the left side cards.

    For eg: Its currently showing "Task Status" but out facility has moved on to "Status" field and with no way to configure the cards to show "Status" the only way left is sorting :(

    On the "My Tasks" page it would be great to add an additional field like "Open Notes Count"

    I've been getting the artists to check for Open Notes and then closing them as they hit each note, essentially making the notes for artists a sort of check list of things they need to do for a task. The "Open Notes Count" field on the left column would then give the artist an overall glance of which tasks had the most notes to hit.

    Oh yes - this would be hugely useful - the single biggest field that I need is the Task Comments field added to the My Tasks view...I literally have hundreds of artists coming to ask where to find the details of the task on their schedule, and the Task Comments contains all the info they need to know.

    +1 here and we should add Shotgun File Manager for this feature as well. Having tasks with the same name under different steps, (like "dressA" for texturing, shading, modeling) become a real uncomfortable issue for us, because users can not determine task's STEP looking at the task list in the Shotgun File Manager window, what is basically a disaster. The only thing that helps us right now is that users can see their Person's thumbnail on the task. Still, this is not as it should be.

    That is strongly needed. Artists need to see everything important at a glance. The cards need to be customizable just like the spreadsheet views. We have delivery dates in linked shot fields, and priorities in task fields that are very important to convey.

    +1 We really need to have some customized fields shown in MyTasks so artists would be able to very quickly access the most important fields for them. I think the left panel of MyTasks can hold for example - custom priority filed as well as personalized or per task due date so we can have something like task milestones or subtasks. Example with sorted by coloured custom priority field:

    Adding a Priority field that can also have format rules on the left panel along with being able to Advance Sort (Example: By Due then by Priority Order) would be really helpful.
