Town Census upgrade I'd like to see

That would be nice. But it already lets us go to the character and see how much time is left.

Which doesn't help all that much when you have varied ending times for tasks in progress and you know you have one or more that have completed or should be completing in less than a minute. Often times there are situations where everyone or almost everyone are set on tasks and I know there are a few that should be done or are almost done (have a minute or two left. To click on each and every character's goto in order to see if they are one of the ones is not exactly something anyone would want to do to find those few. There are also other times where there are a few on very long tasks contrary to the rest and if you don't remember which ones those are it is the same scenario. Or wait until almost all characters are off task to identify them and then goto button them. At a glance info is a much better way to handle checking on time left when there are unknown details preventing easily checking under the current system.

If you want to look at more than one character, you have to find your way back to the Town Hall, scroll through the whole list, etc.

A good point about the navigating back to the town hall. But even if they were to implement a new button next to the saw and hammer button or added it in to the UI elsewhere it still would be just about as inconvenient to check in on multiples and track down ones as per my examples above in this post.

The recommendation was to have different color for active tasks in progress, active tasks completed, and no task assigned.

This would more or less happen with how I was thinking it should be done. Keeping in mind I liked the OP idea too. Here are visuals of what I was thinking.

This is what it looks like now:

This is what it should look like when a task is in progress:

And this is what it should look like when a task is completed:
