We are happy to consider suggestions for new features. In Legacy 6.0 and 7.0 you can suggest a new feature by clicking on the link on the Legacy Home Tab Support Section
Other users can make a suggestion here: http://www.legacyfamilytree.com/Suggest.asp Use the drop down list in the first box to select a category, Legacy 7 or Legacy Charting. Submit your proposed change to how To Do's are created or a new To Do report format there. Please make them two separate suggestions. They are easier to track since each involves different sections of Legacy.
