Rather than creating a new project for client-only tasks, it would be really helpful to be able to share a specific section within a project with a client (Karbon offers this feature).
For example, as part of a bookkeeper workflow:
-
The first section of the Project’s recurring monthly workflow would be used to remind clients to upload documents for the month.
-
Section two would be all of my tasks
-
Section three would be another client section regarding follow0-ups tasks
-
Section four would be all remaining tasks that I need to complete.
By allowing section-sharing, all tasks would show up for the client grouped in a section rather than as individual items.
It seems this has been a long-standing limitation of Asana and it would be really nice if they finally addressed it.

Thanks @Andrea_Mayer That thread is about linking to a section so I’m not sure if it’s the same as what I’m asking (I want to be able to share a section like I am able to share individual tasks and projects). I am honestly shocked this isn’t a feature…so strange.
Ah okay so more than a read only link, I understand.
Yeah that is not available at the moment.
Many split work up into teams + projects or portfolios.
You could also have main tasks assigned to you and subtasks to the client but yes that also means these subtasks have to be multi-homed into another project unless they only view them under their my tasks.
I mean the multi-homing can easily be automated by rules and would not create more manual work for you.
Some more great ideas / options of working with external clients are listed here.
