Creating a new Task on a Data Driven VTB for Task table always defaults the the Task Type set on the filter

Description


Issue Description: Creating a new Task on a guided VTB for Task table always defaults the the Task Type set on the filter

Steps to Reproduce

- Go to Visual task boards
- create a new VTB - Data Driven Board
- Task table - Task
- Lane Field - State
- Filter: "Task Type IS Catalog Task" OR "Task Type IS Task"
- Create

Once the VTB opens, click on + Add Task, once the form opens, configure the form layout and add the Task Type field to the form.

Notice that the task type is set to catalog Task, instead of Task, which is the table the VTB is on.

Edit the VTB filter, flip the conditions so that it looks like this: "Task Type IS Task" OR "Task Type IS Catalog Task".

Now when you create a new task, the task type defaults to Task.

It seems like the task type field defaults to whatever table is set in the first filter condition.

Workaround

This is expected behavior and by design in all currently supported releases.
