🔖 Feature description

Tasks currently knows the following four Task Status Types (and NON_TASK):

• TODO
• IN_PROGRESS
• DONE
• CANCELLED

This these status types don't account for a common status type which is ON_HOLD. Some users might argue that ON_HOLD is a subtype of IN_PROGRESS - but my reasoning is that IN_PROGRESS is an actionable state (e.g. I can continue progressing on it) while ON_HOLD is a non-progressable state. Common situations might be "Waiting for" (e.g. a person) to return a specific result.

✔️ Solution

Add ON_HOLD as a distinctive Task Status Type

❓ Alternatives

Considered defining a "ON_HOLD" status as a sub-status of IN_PROGRESS but this would be insufficient because of reasons specified above
