Explain the problem as you see it
Much of my work in Tana involves documenting to-dos, issues, etc. I love the new feature that allows for assigning an icon to a supertag in order to be able to visually distinguish nodes based on their tags. A problem I'm still encountering however is being able to easily identify the status of nodes within the same supertag.
Why is this a problem for you?
I need to be able to easily identify if a task is urgent, behind schedule, on hold, complete, etc.
Suggest a solution
Adding a feature that would allow a supertag's icon to change based on the value of a particular field would provide useful visual indicators. For example, I'd like my #todo supertag's icon to change based on the value of the status field:
Do this thing #todo [Status: Urgent]
Do this thing #todo [Status: Behind Schedule]
Do this thing #todo [Status: On Hold]
Do this thing #todo [Status: Complete]

great idea!
You can do this, although we don't have a good UI for it. Cmd+K Debug Supertag on the tag when you are in the tag homepage (the page you get to when you just click the tag). Find the Icon field, and paste in a reference to the field (go to the field name, hit Cmd+C, then go into the value section of the Icon field, and Cmd+V). This will look up the value in that field on each node. (The reason we haven't announced this is that we want to build a better UI for this).
Is there a plan to bring back the Icon field for supertags?
Hi Stian,
can you please explain in detail how to actually do this?
Using your explanation I don't understand how I can do a
If status == Done : Icon =
else If status == Progress : Icon =
else If status == Not Done : Icon =
Thank you!

At least expose this solution better to search/crawl/AI/docs
