Accessing Team Custom Field Data

English Forum Developers & API

Hey All,

I’m currently trying to get custom fields from a team which has user Custom Field data in the Members tab. What I’ve picked up is that this is ASANA UI only and not API exposed yet.
[GET app.asana.com/api/1.0/teams/{team_gid}/users]

I’ve tried using the app.asana.com/api/1.0/users/{user_gid} to expose user data, but that doesn’t contain any custom fields

I haven’t found a solution to this and am going to use an AirTable/Spreadsheet for the time-being, but would find it much better for my workflow to have it integrated into ASANA itself.

Is there any plans to make this accessible via API, or is there a different approach I’m missing to get this running?

Hi @Jody_Joseph_Moses and welcome to the forum,

(FYI I’ve moved your post to the English Forum > Developers & API forum section for all API-related topics.)

You are correct that custom fields on team members are not currently available in the API.

@Mikhail_Melikhov @Dominik_Brdak maybe you can check on any plans for this?

Hi @Jody_Joseph_Moses and welcome to the forum!

Thanks @Phil_Seeman, you’re correct, the API doesn’t yet provide full support for custom fields on users/ members. I’ll check with the API team to see if there are any plans to add this functionality in the near future.

I’ll follow up here in the next few days with an update on what I find out.

Best,
Dominik

Hi @Jody_Joseph_Moses,

I’ve had a discussion about this feature with our API team, and they confirmed that we do not currently support custom fields on users in the API. Since custom fields on users is a relatively new feature in Asana, we’re still working on making it available through our Public API.

While I can’t provide a specific release timeline at this point, I recommend following our API Changelog where we post all updates and new feature releases for our API.

Best,
Dominik

Hi Dominik,

Thank you for the update. Yeah I figured this would still be a while off from being implemented.

I’ll keep an eye on that community board.

Kind Regards
