Unable to archive done tasks

I've created an "ARCHIVE" status on tasks, with the objective of filterirng out the older done tasks. But whenever a done tasks is marked as archived, it hoes back to being undone: while under archive status e gets unmarked as if it is incomplete. Is it possible to archive done/complete tasks?

hello! status field on task object is of type 'select' -- where only one value could be assigned at a time for your usecase -- you should create another multi select field. be careful and not delete old field before u copy over the statuses!

Once I delete the old status field, how can I add the new status field into projects page tabs?

Or maybe if you have another solution it would work too! I'm just trying to figure out this, because it seems a bit illogical, if the task is archived by definition it should be done as well

ah true! I did not think of it πŸ™‚ so semantics are wrong here I guess? because ideally, any task should be archived (regardless of its status) archive shouldnt be in this field -- rather a separate one? but then archived wont be displayed in the tab

true, you're right! in this case both done and undone tasks should be able to be marked as archived archived not being showed by default won't be a problem, they're archived afterall so they don't need to be in the direct field of vision
