You can Change the Task Type or Duplicate the Task Type if you want to have a separate display using these commands in a Set Widget Value Action …

Duplicate>[Task Type]
Change Type>[Task Type]

When you fire a command from the Task Editor Widget, you pass the Task Identifier as such (this is the Settings dialog for the Task Editor Widget):

So what this does, is that when the Task is marked as complete, it fires an Automation Command named BB Task Completed and passes the [Id] as the [:CommandValue] to the Automation Command.

BB Task Completed:[Id]

The [Id] contains a unique Identifier for the Task.

You can set the background color of a Task Card using this line in a Printer Template:

(Color=#FF00FF00)

For example:

[LAYOUT]
{ORDERS}

[ORDERS]
++{ORDER TIME} - {ENTITY NAME:Table} {ENTITY NAME:Customer}
(Id={ORDER ID}-{NAME}-{TICKET ID}-{ORDER UID})
(Color=#FF33FF33)

So since you want to change the color, you might just re-print the Order using a different Template and Task Printer configured for a different Task Type, and not bother with the Duplicate/Change commands at all.

So then you would have a Rule that looks something like this:

There will be more to it in the end, but the capability is there.
