# Faster editing tasks fields

Two changes speed up work in the dialog fields view of a task dialog:

- When you add a dialog field, the cursor is placed in the **Field label** input automatically. You can type the label straight away.
- The control **Collapse all fields** above the dialog fields collapses or expands all fields at once. You can still collapse and expand single fields.

**Component**: Web-based Workflow Designer

Applications

- You are adding a high number of fields to a task dialog and want to type each label straight away.
- You are reviewing a long task dialog and want every field name visible at once.

Benefits

- Fewer clicks when building a dialog
- A long dialog stays surveyable

Here's how

- In the web-based Workflow Designer, open a **Task** activity.
- Switch to the settings of a dialog view.
- When you add a dialog field, the cursor is placed in the **Field label** input automatically. You can type the label straight away.
- See in the screenshot below the control **Collapse all fields** on the right side:
