Description

In our organization certain tasks or cards need to stand out more than others — e.g. urgent tasks, blocker tickets, or items requiring immediate attention. Currently, Deck supports labeling cards, but there is no built-in mechanism to visually emphasize cards marked as “important” based on labels.

Without this, many users must resort to workarounds (e.g. prefixing label names with “! ” or “High”, manually applying a special “urgent” label) or rely on memory.

Having a native “important label flag → visual highlight” feature would simplify user workflows and reduce overhead in managing priority.

Here an example how can it looks visually
