Microsoft Project 4.0 Help describes how to use Flag task fields (Flag1, Flag2, Flag3,…,Flag10) with the following statement:

Use these fields to mark any task. They are used to roll up milestones on the Gantt bars. To mark a task, type yes in one of the flag fields. If you don’t want a task marked, type no.

This information is incorrect. You cannot roll up milestones or mark a task with a Flag field. To roll up tasks to a summary line, use the Rollup task field. To mark tasks, use the Marked task field.

Note that Flag fields are most commonly used for filtering or for setting up custom Gantt bars in the palette; Flag fields are not connected to any specific task type.
