All data entries are standardized with appropriate data types to ensure consistency and functionality:

Date/Time Fields: Due Date, Start Date, Created On — stored as date fields.
Text Fields: Titles, descriptions, tags — free-text but formatted with consistent delimiters.

    Yellow highlight when progress is below 30% and status is not “Completed”.
    Status column uses color-coded indicators: Red (Blocked), Yellow (In Progress), Green (Completed).
