Assign to a particular activity (7)

I believe the answer is:

earmark

(Other definitions for earmark that I've seen before include "Designate funds for a particular purpose" , "spot where The Ring may be put on?" , "Set aside for a specific purpose" , "It identifies the outcome" , "Set aside specifically" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
