Last updated:July 22, 2026

Common questions about WPS Auto Task Fields on macOS usually focus on where to find the feature, which related fields are required, and whether settings can be changed later.

FAQ

Why can’t I find the Auto Task field option?

  1. Make sure you are working in a multi-dimensional table instead of a document, spreadsheet, or presentation file.
  2. Click the + button on the right side of the table header and check the field type list.
  3. If the option still does not appear, update WPS Office for Mac and reopen the table.

Why do I need to select other fields when I set up Auto Task?

  1. Auto Task needs a status field and a contact field to determine the trigger condition and the notification target.
  2. If the current table does not include a checkbox field or a contact field, create them first during setup.
  3. After the related fields are ready, return to Field Settings and finish the configuration.

Can I change an Auto Task field after I create it?

  1. Yes. Right-click the title of the Auto Task field.
  2. Select Field Settings to reopen the configuration panel.
  3. Adjust the task type, status field, or contact field as needed.
