Tasks: Quick status edit on task/show

Problem

When viewing a task (task/show) updating its status is too slow, and feels frustrating given how common this action is.

  1. Click edit
  2. Update task status dropdown
  3. Click save

NB. Editing the status is already quick on the tasks/index page as you can drag and drop or use the dropdown menu.

Proposed solution

Inline editing of task status on the task/show page. E.g.

We normally avoid inline editing as it goes against the CRUD/simple style of Macro, however it feels justified in this case, given how frequent the action is.

Steps

  1. Display status/due date/assignee in task sidebar
  2. Add status dropdown menu
