I was able to use a Form and a Flow to create a task - and it works great, other than a handful of things not being coded for manipulation through Flow.

 

Now I have an issue where I trained everyone to manually create a task, then later simplified to use the Form... and I have a couple people who just refuse to use the Form.  Their manually created tasks are a mess.

 

Interestingly, all tasks are now "made" by me when they come from the Form... So I thought I could restrict creation of Tasks to just Channel Owners.  

 

NOPE.  Why not?  If a post can be created only by an owner, why not a Task?

 

(Previously, I was irritated that all Tasks now look like I created them - I don't even use the system!  But if this could be used to my advantage, I wouldn't mind so much.)

 

SO MUCH POTENTIAL with these tools.  But it's discouraging to see basic requests sit for 4 years without change.
