Each field has a Maps to setting:

Short textTask title or the description
ChoiceProject, tags, priority, status, or the description
DateDue date, start date, or the description
Everything elseThe task description

A field can also map to one of the board's custom properties of a matching type.

02Choices from the board#

When a Choice maps to the project, tags, priority or status, its options come from the board. Tick the ones to offer, and give each a public label if you like.

Tip Map one short text field to Task title, like What needs to change?. Without a title mapping, a task is named after the form and the first text answer, like Website requests: Fix the contact page.
