Task View Freeze Header

Openpages Task Focus UI should have capability to freeze the header panel for task views while scrolling vertically, all the 3 fields added on this panel should be freezed and visible on the whole view. This will be very helpful for end users.

    This seems to have a tremendous impact on clients. I.e., what is the point of configuring up to 3 fields in the header if they are only visible before you start scrolling down the Task view? Additionally, keeping the object type visible in the top left is also beneficial for users getting familiar with the UI. To have the object type name and the 3 fields disappear as soon as your start scrolling down is quite a bad user experience. It effectively makes the 3 fields pointless if you have to scroll all the way back up to see them again (i.e., you effectively have the same experience with just putting the 3 fields in a section at the top of the view and not using the header at all). However, it is also puzzling why this has not been addressed yet since if you go to the Activity tab, and you scroll down, the entire header with the 3 fields and object type remains visible the entire time you scroll down. So there is no reason that consistent behavior should not be expected when scrolling on the Task tab (and the desired behavior of the frozen header is much more beneficial to the client on the Task tab rather than the Activity tab). Thanks!

    Hello, just wonder if this idea comes true, the behavior not only looks like a defect, but the whole idea of any header is to be a header, and not just another section that is hidden after scrolling. Pity to see it is sitting here for 3 years already.
