Ability to add and edit columns (sections) in any user's My Task list

I know I can add any columns to My List view, but it seems like I cannot add columns when viewing the Task List of other team members.

Example: I am John, but I am viewing Alice’s task list. In this view I only see Date, and Projects as extra columns, but I need to see the Priority of all of her tasks. This view has no “+” UI to add a column.

Is there a way to achieve a full list view for each user that displays any columns I choose?

Did you ever figure out if this is possible? I’m tasked with managing our users tasks and workload but finding that Asana is not particularly well suited to it!

I found a similar task here from last year that indicated that this was not possible. Asana is turning out to be a poor tool for what we need it for (and I think our requirements are modest!).

I don’t think the marked solution here is a solution. I also don’t see that solution as a post in this thread - I think it is referring to another thread at another time. (Can it be marked as not solved?)

I would like to be able to view other columns also on any user’s My Task (Profile) list. Specifically at this point, I want to be able to add tags to a number of tasks that I know I can see on another user’s list - it is harder to do this from a project’s list view, because I already know some are some are subtasks, or subtasks of subtasks. This would be the ideal place to do it.

However, I cannot add other columns here, and when the tasks are selected, adding tags is not an option from the black toolbar at the bottom, and the shortcut does not work either (unsurprising in this case).

@Forum-team, I tried but can’t figure out how to unmark it; never ran into that before, perhaps you can help?

Thanks,

Larry

Hi @Sarah_L

You’re right — it’s now unmarked as the solution. Thanks so much!

And a big thanks to @lpb for the tag as well.

I want to add a little more context to this. Even if we can’t add/edit columns to someone else’s My Tasks, we should at least be able to see the same view as the task owner sees.

Example: John needs to view Alice’s tasks with certain columns/sorts/groupings. Alice creates a custom view of her “My Tasks” with particular columns/sorts/groupings for John to use and shares her MyTasks with John. However, when John views this tab, it does not show the same columns/sorts/groupings as Alice has it set up.
