Task Group vs Dropdown

hi new to monday, so wanted to see if there’s a reason to use task groups to collect/organize linked tasks, vs using a dropdown down (or tag) to do the same?

pros/cons?

Thank you

Task Groups and Dropdowns serve different purposes on Monday.com boards, each offering unique features. Here is some basic level difference between the two.

  • Task Groups: Task groups are used to organize tasks based on a specific status or category, with each task belonging to only one group at a time. They allow for automations that trigger actions based on changes in the task’s status within the group.

  • Dropdowns: Dropdowns are a column type that allows you to select multiple options for a single task, providing flexibility in categorizing tasks with multiple attributes. However, they do not support automations for moving tasks based on dropdown selections.

In case you need any help setting it up let me know here and I’ll be happy to assist.
