   When creating a task from a List view that is grouping tasks by status, there is a Position in List option in the upper-right of the quick create task modal. Once you select a status for your task, you can use this option to choose where the task displays within the group of tasks with the same status.

3. To load an existing task template, click the wand icon at the bottom of the modal.
4. Once you've finished drafting, you can click Create task. You can also hover over the caret icon next to Create task to see more task creation options:

If you need to save your task as a draft, click the Minimize draft button in the upper-right of the quick create modal. Your task will be sent to the Tray.
