5 Level 5 PinkElephant 5,140 Posted June 18, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I don’t see „everything goes“ as a reasonable approach. But tasks in tables make sense - it would allow to build a KANBAN style project management using tables and tasks. 7 Link to comment
2 reed_man 7 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I had the same major concern right away. I have most of my weekly workflow set-up within Tables. 5 Link to comment
2 Level 5 PinkElephant 5,140 Posted June 24, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 24, 2021 It is requested and confirmed by EN to be one of the topics under review for future releases. 5 Link to comment
2 Level 5 PinkElephant 5,140 Posted February 14, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Hi Jack, just do not drop it. Having tasks in tables, EN could in may cases work as a simple replacement for apps like Trello or Meistertask. They do more, for sure, but often you do not need this overhead to run a little, lean project KanBan-style. 1 Link to comment

0 Level 5 PinkElephant 5,140 Posted June 18, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted June 18, 2021 If you search there are already many posts about this. Hope it will be implemented myself. 1 Link to comment
0 AlbertR 155 Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 Yep - and vice versa: You cannot embed tables inside other types of text (bulleted lists, other tables a.s.o.). Looks like this (new) kind of text blocks are allowed only on top level of any nesting rules. But I'm sure (hope for us all) that there will come up nesting possibilities like in Notion 😉 Link to comment
0 vitorpq 2 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I tried to add Tasks inside a table and it wasn't possible. It's interesting because you can use just a table for the week and Tasks for each week day. 2 Link to comment
0 higginstony 3 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Very excited about the new tasks feature, and already becoming to depend on it. However I use a lot of tables to organize information from meetings, sessions etc. which give rise to tasks. Unfortunately you cannot create a task within a table (alongside the notes/minutes that gave rise to it). Would be great if tasks could be created within tables. 2 Link to comment
0 Powerfab 36 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 Evernote have advised that this will be a coming feature and this with a lot of other user feedback is in development to be added to Tasks. For now it is a matter of patience. 1 Link to comment
0 LoriAnn 0 Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 I wanted to embed a task inside a table and the task option is greyed out. If possible, please share. If not, please work to make it possible. thanks in advance for the help. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 5,140 Posted August 4, 2021 Level 5 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Tasks in tables was already requested a while ago. It is acknowledged by EN as a good possible extension, not sure if it will be done. 1 Link to comment

0 MorganT 0 Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Just dropping in to say that the people really want tasks in tables. So essential for meeting notes and project planning, both of which rely heavily on tables and tasks. To not be able to use them together is a major bummer. Link to comment

0 Rakeshistom 2 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 It would be great if Evernote transparently display their roadmap, like other software vendors. Notion is the best alternative which has all the basic features. 1 Link to comment
0 Suraj51 3 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 I have an issue in iOS. when I try to create task inside table in iOS it simply does not respond. I have personal templates for weekly and monthly planner, if i could use tasks inside it then it would be much more effective in scheduling. Voted for it. Link to comment
0 Mishkafofer 19 Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Dropping my 2 cents. If Evernote would support some kind of Styles with proper document map (MS Word), this would really help. Instead relaying on tables for some kind of structure. Link to comment

0 kronos73 1 Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Following up on this feature request -- Is it still on the EN release roadmap? Is there a timeline for this yet? TIA! Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 5,140 Posted February 14, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted February 14, 2022 EN only very rarely comments on their feature plans, and I don't remember they mentioned this one. It was requested and acknowledged. Link to comment
0 Evernote Staff* Jack Lynch 282 Posted February 14, 2022 Evernote Staff* Share Posted February 14, 2022 On this one, the wait is going to be a bit longer I'm afraid - quarters, not months. We certainly recognize the need for this feature, and it is on the roadmap, but it is not as simple to implement as it might seem on the surface. 7 Link to comment
0 RaptorWriter 1 Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Looking back at this, it's been a year. And I've been waiting for that markdown support 2 years ago. 1 Link to comment

0 Level 5 PinkElephant 5,140 Posted September 10, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted September 10, 2022 Don’t expect a timeline. EN only sparsely comments on its plans, and practically never with a timeline. Link to comment

Well @Jack Lynchhad said "quarters not months" which is more detail than is often available and is the closest you'll get to a timeline. I think it means not before the end of 2023 but that's me reading between the lines. 3 Link to comment
0 Ravi R 1 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 This is the only reason I don't use tasks. Before tasks existed I created a 2-column note that stores all my to-dos - one column for work and one column for home. While I would love to switch to tasks , I can't without splitting my to-do into 2 notes or a very long note which I need to scroll. 1 Link to comment
0 Evernote Expert agsteele 1,635 Posted November 7, 2022 Evernote Expert Share Posted November 7, 2022 WE know it will come in several quarters. If this is a key issue for you then you are wise to stick with your alternative way of handling tasks. Link to comment

If this is a key issue for you then you are wise to stick with your alternative way of handling tasks. I hope EN is willing to change the basic frame. I know it's a complicated update. I knew some softwares which made their basic frame as flexible as possible in order to update the server with the least delay. It was still goofy on some parts but it was VERY fast to hotfix a problem. (If you submit it in the workhours. You will see a hotfix two hours later but this was a game i played a lot. Still the idea behind flexible basic frame is georgeus.) Still, task tables are something important but it does not destroy my workflow. I guess my way of handling tasks is making them with timers? such as if i finish a step on my workflow i go to the note, edit the next task and just see that one on my tasks window. It was much more clearer then normal ways. Still, just to be prodactive, i am curious of your workflow with EN. (I am new to it and want to learn much more!) and maybe, some people can get tips or tricks on this forum. Link to comment
0 Level 5 PinkElephant 5,140 Posted November 8, 2022 Level 5 Share Posted November 8, 2022 EN has switched to a framework based app 2 years ago (actually they made the switch before, but the first clients released in September 2020). I am pretty sure they will not again switch the underlying framework for the clients in the foreseeable next years. Link to comment
0 EverNoteBulldog 1 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 being able to put tasks in tables is the only thing holding Evernote back for me. Having the ability to put tasks, attachments, etc into tables provides for nesting that allows you to evolve context quickly and easily. Please HURRY and provide this capability. 1 Link to comment

Looks like you can't create a task inside of a table cell.
It looks like it happens in Windows and in iOS.
Is that intentional or will that be possible in the future?
