Currently - no - the only task option customization is through the successorset descriptions for task transitions which is controlled through the WFT
There is a feature request on file for being able to customize these menus.
If you provide the name of your company, we will add it as an interested customer.

Ghoti:

I got some requirement that I need to set the "preview file" item in the Task Options description menu in the TaskList. It is mentioned in this thread that we can set this in workflow successorset description in task transcition. Can you throw some more light on this...

Appreciate your help on this...

Adam Stoller

From a user-oriented task (usertask, grouptask) when you define the task in the wft, you define the possible successorsets for that task - the definition of the successorset element contains an attribute called 'description' - the value you put into the description shows up on the Task Options menu (at the bottom).

<usertask name="...." ...>
    ...
    <successors>
        <successorset description="this becomes the menu item name">
            <succ v="next_task_name">
        </successorset>
    </successors>
</usertask>

I'm not sure if/how this may have changed in TS 6 (haven't had sufficient time to try it out yet) - but my guess is that this should continue to work - though there may be more alternatives.

Thanks for the reply. Is there any way we can remove all the other drop down items in Task Options. Actualy I just want to get rid of the following:

1. Start Task
2. Edit Task
3. Rename

thanks

(a) I'm not sure you *really* want to do that
(b) you *might* be able to remove "rename" with the [ui_remove_menu_items] section in the iw.cfg - but Start Task and Edit Task are built-in functions of Workflow
(c) you *might* be able to remove those too - by editing product files - but that would be in conflict with support of the product.

If you can express a reasonable use-case scenario for why you believe you should be able to remove Start Task and Edit Task from the Task Options menu - I suggest you contact Interwoven Support to register it as a feature request; but again, I don't think you *really* want to do that.....
