Create task from conversation thread in news feed - Task must be created in custom task list

Question

Hi All,<o:p></o:p>
Have a new requirement
were user should be able to create a task for himself from a conversational
thread in News feed.<o:p></o:p>
In
SharePoint 2013 we have a functionality where we can follow up on a
conversation and it creates a task in My Tasks which is in My site.<o:p></o:p>
But my requirement
is to create a task in Tasks list in same site collection on click of follow
up.<o:p></o:p>
I have
tried one approach as below :<o:p></o:p>
My Tasks in
My site is an aggregated view of all tasks assigned to the logged in user. When
i follow a task in News feed a personal task is created in My task
(WmaAggregatorList_User internal name) list. When i Edit the personal task and
change the Projects
drop down to the required Project Name and Check -"Make this task public to project
members" it just creates a task is specific Site and moves
the task.<o:p></o:p>
I tried to
find if Projects and Check box are columns of Task list , but did not find any
columns.<o:p></o:p>
I am trying
to create a event receiver which would make these columns be set to Site Name
and check box checked so that when user creates a task it will directly move to
Custom Task list.<o:p></o:p>
Please
guide <o:p></o:p>
Thanks in
Advance<o:p></o:p>

Thank you for your responce. I used a content query wp to rollup only the Major Milestones, but am unable to overlay the results to a calendar.. The link you provided is for overlaying different task lists onto a calendar, but does not detail how to
overlay the results from the content query onto a calendar.
