In a nutshell:
1) Choose Tools | Forms | Design a Form and choose the Task form.
2) Switch to Tasks folder where your form will be deployed.
3) Create the custom fields in the folder. You can use View | Current View |
Customize Current View | Fields. Or, in a table view, right-click the column
headings and choose Field Chooser.
4) On the form from Step 1, switch to the P.2 page, and drag the fields from
the Field Chooser to that page.
5) Choose Tools | Forms | Publish Form to publish the customized form.
