Unfortunately when Asana creates a Project Template 2.0 from a 1.0 template, the 2.0 version is a whole new object in Asana independent of the original project object, so you’ll have to create the workflows in the 2.0 template.
Also note that 2.0 templates don’t yet support Flowsana rule actions in the template’s rule builder, so if you have any rules involving Flowsana that live in the Asana rule builder in your 1.0 template, you’ll have to create those rules in the Flowsana web portal instead (and make sure they can be built there, as the Asana rule builder has a few capabilities the Flowsana web portal does not have.)
@Phil_Seeman If I convert my template to 2.0, can I have Flowsana still make new projects conform to the 2.0 template to use the Auto Due Date Adjustment to operate in the new project?
@anon58279254 Yes, if I understand the question, the Auto-Adjust Workflow will work the same on projects made from a 2.0 template as they will from a 1.0-template-based project.
@Phil_Seeman it was announced that the is_template will be deprecated in August. Any idea if this is postponed since the force migration did not happen?
Hey folks, cross-posting from the weekly API update, we have a new
timeline for New Project Templates that I want to make sure you’re all aware
of.
current status (Aug 16): opt-in (Project resources still include the is_template field, but your API client can include a Asana-Enable: new_project_templates header to receive the new resource
treatment)
next change (Aug 24): opt-out (Project resources will no longer include the is_template field by default, but your API client can include a Asana-Disable: new_project_templates header to temporarily revert to the old
treatment)
final change (Sep 24): deprecation complete (Project resources will no
longer include the is_template field, and there will no longer be a way to
revert to the old treatment)
Please let me know if you have any questions!
Yours in Developer Relations,
Sasha, on behalf of the Asana API Team
I know this might be a slightly old topic but we’re just starting with Asana and i’m running into a similar with creating a template via the API. I’m getting the same date issue if I use “1” as the date GID, but if I use “2” it creates it, but it seems that 2 sets the due date, and the start date is not set it seems to just pick a random start date, one project was starting in July one was in August, if I try and put in both “1” and “2” as an array of dates it says that it must contain only one start date or one due date. I only want the due date to populate as well. Only one of my tasks refences the due date, and its being used a 20 days BEFORE the due date. Any way to just have the Due date populate?
Are you having this issue when creating a template, or when creating a project from a template? You’re talking about supplying actual calendar dates so it seems you’re talking about creating a project?
hey folks, a reminder that the Asana-Disable headers will stop working soon (end of September) for New Project Templates. At that point, the API will only return the new schema for New Project Templates and is_template will be no more.
Any update on when “getting all tasks under a project template” will be possible? @Tony_Anh_Nguyen asked for this 6 months ago.
This is a hard business requirement for us.
It is especially frustrating as this was definitely possible before you introduced templates as templates were just regular projects before, so you could use the GET /projects/{project_gid}/tasks endpoint to get all tasks for a template.
This is no longer possible and an equivalent GET /project_templates/{project_template_gid}/tasks doesn’t exist.
We don’t even need full CRUD functionality, having basic read functionality would suffice.
I’m trying to utilize the automation tool, Make (formerly Integromat) to duplicate a project. With the new templates, the action “Duplicate a project” is not working. I am trying to utilize the “Make an API Call” action to find the project template and then create a project from the template. I am running into issues and would love any suggestions. When I try using the standard “Duplicate a project” action I receive this error:
[403] project: Not the correct type
Origin
Asana
Automatic error handler
If you want to handle this error automatically, choose one of the following options. This will create a new error-handler route in your scenario. You can then expand the route in any way you like.
Has anyone utilized the “Make an API Call” action to create a project using the new project templates? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.
You can’t use the old endpoint to duplicate a project, you have to use the new one. Can you share the exact call you are making, with a screenshot for example?
