Available Symbols in the Status Column

DEW

Hey All.

I hope you can help me out.

I know that you cannot add your own symbols in the status column. However, can I combine from other lists?

My use case:

I am currently using row 2 in the status list below (yellow - green - red - blue), and I would like to add the gray indicator on the last row going to yellow - green - red - blue - gray.

Can I append my list to have/include this existing indictor dot?

Statuses I want to use would be:

Gray - Not Started (this is the indicator I want to add)

Yellow - behind

Green - on track

Red - late

Blue - complete

Hi @David E Wood

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now to combine them, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• You can use other symbols by using UNICHAR, CHAR, or Emojis.
