Hi,
It would be great if there was a way to put an entire board “on hold”. Let’s be honest things change pretty quick these days and it would be great if it was super easy to take a project offline and come back to it later.
So far I have been able to create in the status column “on hold” but the application doesn’t recognize it and will still include “on hold” tasks in dashboard metrics etc.
So it seems like what I’d like to see if for “on hold” to be one of the stock statuses on the app (along with “not started”, "stuck ", “working on it” and “done”). And even better that there’s a way to set an entire board to “on hold” with one click. Perhaps this one click would set all items within the board to the in hold status and even remove the timeline dates.
Thanks for considering.
Great product. It’s really helping out my org. 
Hi 
You can filter out “on hold” statuses (or any status/column value) for dashboards and charts.
I looked at options for a single switch to click to mark everything off as “on hold”, but there’s only really janky workaround. If you have a project overview board for that entire board you should be able to create a workflow that would change all of the statuses on that board if the overview went into “on hold”, but it would need setting up for every board.
The easiest option would be to just select all the items and mass edit the statuses.

thanks for this suggestion.
It would be helpful if the application had a built-in “on hold” status so it could recognize when a board is on hold.
I am having the same problem… I posted that I am also running into the same problem: "My Work" and "On Hold" Projects
I don’t want to have to go project by project and task by task to change a status and then change it back when the powers that be say we can start working on the project again. We used to use Workfront, and it was a better platform for project management as they had a lot of built-in features that help a PM do their job. This platform can’t even automatically calculate if a project is behind or at risk of falling behind depending on the tasks that are done and not done unless I plug into the project health integration and come up with calculation for the automation (i.e. if 10% of the items are late, then set the project health as off track). And that’s only if the integration is working, which it hasn’t for about 2 weeks now.
Heck, this platform doesn’t even tell me a task is late unless I have an automation on the project to change the status to late if the due date has come and gone.
It’s so frustrating and makes it difficult to to do my job.
