Create Task

Create a task in Wrike.

Options

  • Task Type (dropdown): The task type will determine what date fields are available as input fields on the card and what type will be assigned when the task is created. There are 3 options: Backlog, Milestone, and Planned. The task type is set in Wrike based on what dates are specified for a task. A ‘Backlog’ task has no dates or only a duration specified. A ‘Milestone’ task has only a due date specified. A ‘Planned’ task has a start date, due date, and duration specified.
