Customize Column in Projects - Default View for Template?
Is there a way to have the columns you'd like to see added to a template? I want my customized columns to show up every single time I create a project from that template.

Milestones - must they always include a tasklist? Is there a way just to have task(s) within milestones?
We like using the milestone feature for project organisation and visualising the Gantt chart, however we have no need for "task lists" in some milestones because some milestones might only include 1-2 task. As far as I can see, I cannot assign Tasks to Milestones - I can only assign a Task List to a Milestone. Is this correct or is there something I am missing? Having to setup a task list makes the system look bloated and creates unnecessary clicks and confusion when there are only a few tasks required

Can email notifications be opt in rather than opt out?
Could you please make it so that email notifications are opt in for users and not opt out? We may have to stop using Zoho. Some of my colleagues like and use it; others don't want to experience the details of project management—they just want to be updated verbally at meetings. Sure, they can configure their own settings, but why do I have to make them do that? Many will just say: make this stop; I don't care if it means that you have to stop using this tool. I guess I could give the an alias email

Please consider introducing field dependencies such as you are doing it on Zoho Desk.
