Dashboard > Settings > Modules > Form > Create Form Builder Form
The "Task" component allows you to create tasks directly via forms. You can create tasks to be added to a specific task list and assign them to users. Access tasks created via the form in the task module.
Note: Tasks can be created on project-level forms only. You won't be able to create tasks if you are using this component in a company-level form or for a company form.

Add the component to the form by dragging and dropping the task component into the Form Builder.
Click on the pencil or double-click the component to edit.

Label: Changes the "Add Task" option at the bottom. Leave it as is.
