- Start the task from that screen and select the correct customer, record, staff member or configuration context when Pixie CRM asks for one.
- Review the controls that matter for this task: Field name, Field type, Related module/area, Options.
- Then check Required/active status, Order. Use verified information and do not fill optional values with placeholders.
