You might have realized that in Asana, when you archive a project, assigned tasks stay opened. That could be confusing to some people expecting them to be completed automatically or unassigned (there is not archive concept for task in Asana).
Would that make your life easier if there was a tool you could run on a regular basis that would unassign or complete any incomplete task within archived projects? Anyone interested?
Would this give me notifications or flag items as being modded?
I would be very interested, as long as I could see the tasks that were incomplete and exercise discretion over whether to close them. Maybe even just giving the ability to search for these tasksā¦right now there is no search option for whether a Task is in an Archived Project or not, right?
yes right.
The regular notifications would be fired.
Thatās where that becomes complex because it means having a system to inspect dozens of tasks and allowing some pick and choose 
I search the archived project for such tasks using Advanced Search, but Iām sure such tool would be helpful for new Asana users.
Iād be very interested in this. We have clients pulling back projects during the pandemic and placing them āon holdā. As weāve secured a contract, weāll eventually re-activate the project, (Hopefully weāll be coming out of this!) but if there was a way to remove the tasks from the āMy prioritiesā view for an archived project or one that was placed āon holdā, it would give a better depiction of my, and my teamās, workload.
In this case you can email me at bastien@ido-clarity.com to discuss your specific use case. Thanks
This is a huge pain point for our team. We have well over 100 active, concurrent projects and often they are built from templates that have automatic owner assignment, even for optional tasks. When we complete and archive a project open tasks remain in my teamās My Tasks list, which renders this view totally useless, and this is a pretty important view.
We would LOVE to see a filter on My Tasks like we have on Team homepages where you can remove tasks from archived projects from you list. This seems like a total no brainer for the product team to implement.
We are drowning in archived clutter today.
Why donāt you unassigned everything remaining before archiving a project? Because in many cases you do want to keep those tasksā¦
Has a solution for this appeared. I have so many tasks in my āMy tasksā from archived projects. Please help advise a solution. Thanks in advance.
I donāt believe there is a solution yet.
Very likely I will leave Asana because of this.
so @Sarah_Cobey you really think other tools wonāt have other problems, and you think you can find the perfect tool? This is not a troll, I am always surprised when people want to leave a tool because of one specific issue. I believe every tool has its issues and limitations, so just curious.
