May I ask why you use different techniques to select whether an item is starred or not? On a list of actions, the star icon is easily enabled or disabled with a single mouse click. It works great and has instant visual feedback, like a good user interface should.
However, on the detail for an action, you use a “starred/not starred” drop down box. It uses two mouse clicks to change and lacks the immediate visual feedback of a green or outlined star.
Is there any way you can use the star icon consistently throughout the application?
Thanks.

I’d prefer this also please!
To be honest none has brought this up before. I will make a note of this to the tech team.
Thanks, Delfina.

.....and starred/not starred box is placed in a different place depending on New Action or Edit Action dialog. I have to look for it every time.

I think the more consistent a feature is used throughout the application the better
How about displaying the “Recurring” icon when repetition is set?
Actually, the icon (two circular arrows) could be a part of the bubble defining the repetition period! Something like the icons in the bubbles with contexts.

+1 – My preference is the star icon, but as long as you reduce from three UI’s to one standard, I’m happy with which ever option you choose.
Star is good.
Thanks for your comments – we’ll see into changing that – now with bubbles the star makes more sense. Thanks!
+1 – usability should take precedence over consistency
+1 … I close the edit dialogue and click the star coz I simply refuse to click twice!
