I would very much appreciate a solution for this.

This improvement its really needed 

Without this enhancement, task items offer limited value. It would be good to have them aligned in a traditional table for better readability.

This is a much needed feature, has there been any developments on this ?

This is a much desired addition. The task feature seriously lacks table compatibility as proposed in this item. This would enable much better workflow, readability and ultimately usability. Please add this

The product is seriously lacking this functionality, Tasks are very hard to read unless they are properly formatted

Same here. real let down on the functionality

I agree. This would be a very useful feature

This is a great features, could be very usefull !

My comment isn't the main issue of this ticket, but a related one. There is a ticket for this that Atlassian simply closed without addressing it, assuming without any basis that the 6.14 release fixed it: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-37838

My company uses 7.4.0 and I can assure you that it isn't fixed.

It would be nice if you can copy a row/column containing a task/checkbox without text next to it, and the resulting row/column would also contain a checkbox. Currently the checkbox is only copied if it has accompanying text. If you're just using the checkbox in a cell without any text (a pretty normal thing when representing tasks as a matrix), then you're SOL. 

I would submit a screenshot to demo this counterproductive behavior, but I don't seem to be allowed to here in JIRA. So instead, please see my replies on this thread for that screenshot: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-discussions/Creating-table-with-checkboxes/td-p/665740

The upper row in each pair is the copy-pasted row. The row without text next to the checkbox does not get copied to the newly pasted row. This is absolutely not helpful. Sometimes a table cell is just a checkbox, and not a checkbox with text next to it... 

Hi. This is exactly what I need.
We may collect tasks with more info than just assignee and due date (such as requester, record date, actions...) that makes it necessary to display them in a formatted table. AND we may want to have a task report collecting only the basic info picked from such tables saved in various sub-pages.

Thanks a lot in advance for considering this change.

You´re right, Michael! It´s more than four years ago when this issue was created. I wonder how many years we are away from a solution...

For us this is a must have, as otherwise a task if far too unstructured and nearly not usable. And I believe that nearly for everybody else a open task list is a table with topic, responsible, due date and notes column, or am I wrong?

This would be incredibly useful

Yes the formatting for this is really unpleasant. We need to be able to host a meeting notes in a table. 

Yes thos would be great!

There should be. So many people need it!!!

Bump. Is there enough interest to make this happen yet?

This would be amazing! Please make this happen, Atlassian! 

Additionally checking off the task should grey out the complete row.

It would be nice to have tasks understand that they are part of a table row and perhaps pick up @mentions and due dates from the row. I have some users that are more OCD than others and like having everything neatly aligned.
