The unique fields you add display in the task-specific information section of a workflow task based on the task.

To understand how to set up task-specific information groups, see Agency-defined fields for workflows. A workflow is a set of tasks an agency defines and follows for the purpose of managing an application. Workflow tasks function as the agency’s to-do list when a user creates an application. A task-specific information group is a group of fields that you want to include on a task in addition to the standard task fields, such as status, status date, and comments. You can locate this feature in Classic Administration under Admin tools > Workflow > Task specific info.
